    Because then you’re voting for an outcome that won’t exist, or even no outcome at all, and meanwhile somebody far worse gets elected instead.

      Dude seems to think that not voting will result in no one being elected. I don’t think they’re teaching this shit in schools anymore.

      No. In no world is not voting for someone somehow a vote. You cannot coerce votes and still call it a democracy. The entire point is freedom to vote for your choice.

        Your votes do decide. The primaries selected Joe Biden in 2020, and this general election is going to be 51:49 in Trumps favor based on polls. We have a choice.
