Plus my state is going to Trump automatically anyway.

If "did not vote" was a candidate they would have won the 2020 election: https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/president

In the majority of Republican states if you could convince non-voters to vote for Democrats the Democrats could win the state. This is far more plausible than getting the momentum for a 3rd party candidate to win at this late stage in the election.

It isn't my job to do that. Dems choose to align their selves to fascists and only position themselves as "At least were not Trump." The state isn't going to flip because I threw my morals away for a person active in genocide. Get all that ex Regan staff to do it.

And the state isn't going to flip because you threw all you energy towards encouraging people not to vote at all, which would result in a far worse outcome for everyone.

People can vote for who they want. It isn't my fault Dems basically abandoned my state. If Harris can go earn GOP support. Then she can do the same for non-blue no matter who people. Voting is transactional.
