It's not like I want Trump to win; I'm not mad at people voting for Biden because they're scared of Trump. Not voting for the "harm-reduction candidate" is an act of desperation in practical terms. It is trying to signal to an entity that doesn't care to hear it that what they're doing is so terrible I won't participate in their political project in even the barest terms. I can't really blame people who think, maybe correctly, that there is still a worse alternative for them personally.
But I won't brook people shaming me for choosing not to participate.
