After a day and several replies from people. I've come to the conclusion that people here are ok with their party and leaders supporting genocide and they attack the questioners (instead of their party leaders) who criticize those who support genocide. Critical thinking is scarce here.

I'm shameful of humanity.

Look up 'empirical'. It doesn't mean 'point of view I agree with'.

No it means absolute truth- as in, it’s an absolute truth that a protest vote is stupid.

.. we’re done here

Well, no, it doesn't mean that either, but I get the point anyway. You're not here to defend your position, that's fine. It's not obligatory.

  1. :originating in or based on observation or experience**. empirical data.
  2. :relying on experience or observation alone often without due regard for system and theory.

Observation and experience.

By observation, protest votes are stupid.

By experience, third party votes are stupid.

And I love the IMAX quality projection you’re displaying here. it’s obvious you have no position to defend. You just put people on the defensive to cover up for it. None a so or one of you have provided any policy offered by third party candidates. Not one of you have explained any logic that can argue against the concept that you’re knowingly tossing away votes while simultaneously allowing a much worse candidate to win.
