How can voting for someone ever not be a sign that you support them over the other options?

How does the electoral college system work in a way that encourages you to vote for someone you don't want?

Because voting third party is also a vote for whoever wins, using this logic. Libertarians, Green, etc party voters constantly get accosted over this.

You have two top candidates, by voting for a third party you are deferring to the popular vote on the top two and 'subtracting' a vote from your favorite of the top two.
