Still it is utterly obnoxious when someone seems to act all high and mighty that they didn’t vote for the lesser of two evils.

It's almost as obnoxious as people claiming I somehow voted for Trump by voting third party in my state, which is definitely not a swing state.

I'm only going to vote for the lesser of two evils if the lesser of two evils has a realistic chance of winning a close race. The closest election to that in my voting history was 2020, because my state is pretty deep red (Utah), didn't like Trump (Kasich got more votes than Trump in 2016 in my state and he had already dropped out), and the whole attack on the electoral system rubbed people the wrong way, so I voted for Biden and Trump still won by 20%. Even in 2016, when McMullin stole a ton of votes, Trump still won by almost 20% (though he got <50%, which was funny).

Voting third party is the ultimate protest. If you don't like the terrible candidates and your state won't flip, protest!
