"A vote for third party/Jill Stein is a vote for Trump."❌ is literally a harm-reduction argument ️✅. Anti-electoralism is being against the institutional power that vesting everything on elections creates and the spectacle to maintain it that critically diverts from mutual aid, not censoring those against supporting specific candidates (and using arguments logically proven from agreeable FPTP assumptions). (In fact, I would say that level of participation is electoralist.) I do not want us to become bureaucratic "alongside your other activism" boilerplaters.

Of the examples, only #4 seems like it should be removed for anti-electoralism. Of the rest, #2, #3, and #6 should be removed, but because they are already removeable as shitty bad-jacketing.
