Every assumption you just made was incorrect. But if you're going to start with name calling, then this isn't going to be a productive discussion.

If someone has decided voting isn't worth it to the point that they're trying to convince others not to vote, they're generally too stupid and emotionally invested to change their mind. Or they're a shill.

This discussion (and name calling) isn't for you. It's for the audience. People feeling hopeless and powerless who might buy into the "don't vote" bullshit. Voting matters.

You just called me an idiot who doesn't vote after I suggested for whom you should vote. What will your vast audience think of that?

Voting 3rd party is effectively the same thing as not voting. I mentally tend to consider those as the same thing. But yes I should have clarified that.
