    There’s nothing magical that happens if you don’t vote. The candidate with the most vote wins. Thats it. If A is better than B, you should vote A. Even if there are major problems with A. Otherwise we get B, which is worse. Worse is bad.

        That analogy doesn’t apply at all. Not voting is a decision that doesn’t help elect the better candidate, therefore you are responsible for helping the worse candidate.

          it doesn’t help elect any candidate at all, but it does prevent me from being responsible for what they might do in office. the people responsible are those who elect them.

            No. You are responsible for the elected candidate if you don’t vote against them. Take responsibility for your action or inaction, already.
