"This election is too close, we can't risk a Trump presidency for a protest vote!" That's exactly why we should vote for Stein (or West, if you feel so inclined). In fact, there's never been a better time.
People have been shouting for an end to the genocide in Gaza for over a year. There's always been outrage in relatively niche circles over things like the Cop Cities, climate inaction, and trans healthcare, but the Democrats could be forgiven for thinking that that would never cost them an election. Not so with Gaza. They can't pretend that ending genocide is an extreme demand, or that only a minority of people want them to. They know their support for Israel is costing them tons of support from leftists, youth, Muslims, and people of conscience in general. They're gambling that they can still get us to vote for them, or that they can win elections without us.
Either way, if we prove them right, where would it end? What happens when the only bar they have to clear is "threatening to send Israel one less bomb than Republicans"? What happens when they realize they can abandon us and only cater to increasingly extremist right-wing voters?
If you live in a red state, or better, a swing state, and vote third party only for the Republicans to win, you aren't responsible for the consequences, the Democrats are. A political party's job is to win your support. The whole point of elections is to say who did that best.

This is pure Trumpism.
What you're saying with this nonsense is that you care more about punishing the Democrats for not being far left than stopping fascism from taking over America.
This is precisely how we got Trump in 2016. Fortunately, people like you are demonstrably uncommon and then often hidden away in areas where your impact is reduced.
It's not complicated: Only a vote for Harris stops Trump. A protest vote is a protest, not a vote.
