The fascists want to convince you that your vote doesn't matter. Defy the fascists and vote. Besides, the state and local races make more of a difference anyway, so at least show up for those.
I definitely do those. Not sure how much of an impact that has, but when you have such deception as which takes place on the next level, like with the various media scandals on both sides, it's a negative omen. In my mind at least, it's like all those people who lied about their life situation to gain community contributions, times ten. But some people divide it for some reason.
The fascists we're talking about are strictly Trump and his followers. Other conservatives are also bad, but not bad enough to overthrow the government and install a dictator.
As for the argument that a vote for a third party is a vote for the bad guy, I'm not so sure. I voted against Biden in the primaries because we can do better. But when tens of millions of people are going to vote to install a dictator, the rest of us need to be united behind one candidate long enough to defeat them. Someday, third parties will be viable, but not this year.

If I'm not mistaken, it was Obama/Clinton/Sanders in 2016 who infamously dissed the concept of third party voting (are they any of the fascists we speak of?)
