[Mister Agenda]

I was a libertarian for 20 years and thought there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between the two major parties, but the difference kept growing. Eventually i learned the voting for the least fascist option that has a good chance of winning is the most effective way to prevent the most fascist option from REALLY ruining my country. Of course, so far, my success rate has only been 50/50. Four years ago I voted for the less fascist option that stood a real chance and got Biden, this time the most fascist one won anyway.

My reasoning is simpler - I don't vote for people who are even slightly fascist. One vote is meaningless either way, it can't hinder or help fascists but my conscience remains clear and that it all that matter. What other will chose to do is up to them.

I used to feel the same way. My conscience was clear as long as I didn't vote or only voted for someone I didn't have reservations about. I'm only one person and my vote won't make a difference anyway. Especially in the USA where your vote doesn't matter unless you live in a swing state. But when Trump was elected in 2016, I found that my conscience didn't feel clear just because I didn't vote for him. YMMV.
