This isn't really a new thing, and it might be mostly young people who are doing this, but I know people who aren't young and who say things similar to what these voters are saying. I remember seeing a post somewhere that compared voting to taking a bus; it might not take you exactly where you want to go, but it'll get you closer than where you were before you got on the bus. But I think that some people don't see things that way. It's a similar argument for right-of-center people who can see that Trump would be worse than Biden but have reservations about voting for Biden. I voted for Nader in 2000 (although, even then, I didn't agree with Gore and Bush were similar and probably would have voted for Gore if I'd lived in a swing state). I'm not as far left as I used to be, maybe because I'm older and see things with more nuance than I did then, but, looking back, I feel that voting for third parties has hurt the left. If Nader's voters had all got behind Gore, then the Iraq war might not have happened. If all of Jill Stein's voters had got behind Clinton, then Trump wouldn't have been there to appoint his judges who went on to overturn Roe.

I’ve wondered the same thing.
