    The philosophical problem is more a game theory one. You are participating in a limited outcome, constrained system. Depending on where you live, non participation results in a trump win.

      The philosophical problem assumes only one action available to you with clear results. Neither of these is true here.

      More to the point. The philosophical problem is about the agony of inaction. You don’t need to bastardize the meme to add a third “inaction” route. That’s just inane.

        Again that dodges the conclusion that one of the two WILL win. Understanding your district and the “cost” or teinal result of inaction still funnels all choices and interests to one of two results.

          One of these winning, doesn’t mean the results are foreseen. Which is unlike the meme where the results are foreseen.

            All outcomes are foreseen. The one that will occur is not. Abstaining and 3rd party voting has known impacts that lead to one or the other possible outcome.

              “Foreseen” is there will be one track chosen, not what is lying on that track.

                That’s untrue. We know each candidates general stance from past time in executive office. It’s easy to look up trump’s past actions and current words on the middle east, and to the meme, we know his stance on minority communities, abortion, citizen rights, etc. as well.

                No love for Harris, but her platform is far saner and even ethical than trump’s.
