      It’s functionally the same. All you’ve done is exclude yourself from the system just like what the majority of people do every cycle.

        that’s a consequentialist view of ethics, and one to which i don’t subscribe

            nonconsequentialist ethics are strongly preferred by professional philosophers, so someone here might be ignorant, but it’s not me.

      No it isn’t. You’re not standing out or standing up. Nobody knows the difference why you stayed home and let Trump get elected.

          And don’t affect change. You might as well never have been born, as far as your impact. So it sounds like this is actually only about your moral high ground. That’s cool. Means nothing when Trump is president. Brilliant plan.

                To be clear, you’re not ENTIRELY wrong. But don’t attack other users. Removed, rule 3:
