    If you simply look at the numbers, you will see that if for example trump gets 10 votes and biden gets 8. The people who have not voted for either one in this scenario are enabling Trump to win. This is only relevant in swing states though

      The only candidate enabled by any vote is the candidate for whom that vote was cast

        That is correct but you’re still allowing the worse of two options to happen by not voting for the “better” but not good option

          I’m going to vote for someone I want to win. I have a policy of not voting for people I don’t want to win

            Which would be valid if the US had an actual democracy and not whatever the current system is

                Valid might have been a weird choice of words. I meant that your way of voting only works out in an actual democracy. The opinion is valid either way

                  my way of voting always works: the person for whom i vote is the person i want to win.

      but if I vote for Biden I enable him to win. I don’t want that, either
