Is this what we're doing?

Voting does not take 10 minutes! First, Republicans are making it harder to vote early or by mail and closing polling stations so you have to wait in really long lines on a work day. Second, you should be taking the time to really research and understand everything on your ballot before committing to votes.

- Perhaps, but pissing away your vote on a third party in a FPTP system is functionally no different to not voting.
  
  I wonder if Trump hating conservatives are being told the exact same rhetoric. "Trump sucks but if you vote 3rd party you're just giving Biden the election!"

both parties ultimately stand for the same values
This is an extremely privileged take. Yes, both parties support corporations and capitalism. However, one party also supports the eradication of people they don't like. This is a very significant difference.
- Both parties support the eradication of people they don't like.
  
  Who do the Democrats want to eradicate? Republicans are already very well-documented.

Both parties stand for the same values? Lol, what?
- You know, the values of keeping rich people rich and poor people poor.
  
  Oh is that why Democrats keep promoting social welfare programs, social mobility, and public safety nets? Keeping the poor poor is more of a republican thing.
  This is the game Republicans play, block any progress, then get blame shifted to Democrats for not implementing their goals. Prove government doesn't work by making it not work, because the voters want it all immediately, regardless of procedure.

If voting prevents literal murder then both parties obviously don't stand for the same values.
- ... or one party is more efficient at facilitating murder
  
  Yeah one party is so bad they repeal things like DoMA while the other literally persecutes LGBT groups
