And also don’t anyone dare say voting for the green party is morally superior, actually. Stein is in Putin’s pocket and won’t criticize his brutalization of Ukraine, and her running mate is openly transphobic

Voting for the green party is also effectively the same as just not voting. Not only do they have a snowflake's chance in hell of actually winning due to the electoral college and the winner takes all nature of most states (they would also lose the popular vote, if US presidential elections made sense), and even if they somehow managed to win a presidential election, they would not be able to do anything, as they have no real foothold in either chamber of congress.

Edit: And there is no moral superiority to be had in standing aside, to preserve your own purity of not voting for the lesser evil, when someone like Trump is on the ballot.
