For industryStandard and whoever else may not understand FPTP: a vote for Kamala is a vote against Trump

A vote for Jill Stein is not a vote against Trump, and in fact hurts Kamala's chances the same way a Republican voting for RFK hurts Trump's chances

Would you rather have someone vote to stop Trump or throw away their vote?

This is illogical, as it assumes someone voting for stein would vote for Harris, which isn't the case.

In 2016 many Bernie Bro's spite voted for Trump. Stein is leeching votes from Harris but also provides an alternative for what could have turned into spite voters.
