This won’t have the desired effect of making people vote. Instead more people will find a political reason for not voting and comfort in that reason.
People will become absolutely fine with saying “neither of them represent my beliefs and I’m not ok with not voting based on that, deal with it”. This will be normalised. It will damage the civil religion considerably.
This is a good thing. Do not stand in the way of their mistake.
You will say it after this and they will still call you trash.
But many more people will also start saying it when challenged. And many more will be called trash. And many of them will just learn to be ok with that.
This does not address the underlying reasons people are not voting, and therefore will not notably affect the issue. Instead it will create unintended consequences.
Is this the antidote to the liberal “a 3rd party vote is a vote for Trump” math? The Anti-Vote equation?
It might push some people to vote third party as the only option to not vote for one of the two parties they don’t like.
Obviously the goal here is to make people vote for one of the two parties, but they have reasons for not doing that. If they’re absolutely forced to vote they still won’t pick the 2 parties.
Just tell those people some variation of this and when they then explain to you how it doesn’t work that way because you would have voted for the Dems if you didn’t vote 3rd party just tell you would never vote for the Dems. At this point their logic will become circular and the will short circuit and get mad

I say that now and I get told that I’m trash, Trump is my fault, and so on and so on.
