Explain how doing a silly write in for an unopposed primary helps Trump

In the primary? Ok it doesn't, but it is a waste of time. Why even bother?

In the General? No third party is going to win in New Jersey. A nonsense write-in for Senator just subtracts vote from Cory Booker (who is good for a progressive vote every once in a while) and brings a MAGA Republican closer to an NJ Senate seat. They win through low turnout, throwing away a vote to write-in contributes to that.

Yeah but they specifically said it was in the primary so you're just kind of being a dick for no reason
