Let me ask you something - if you don't vote, or you vote third party (same thing), and Trump wins. What will you have gained?
If I vote for Biden and Trump wins anyways, what will I have gained?
I answered your ridiculous Nazi hypothetical - lets see if you're up for one.
The vote is split - exactly 50/50. Your vote makes the difference and if you don't vote the speaker of the house will elect Trump. What do you do?
Why does your magical situation matter if it will never exist?
The Nazi hypothetical wasn't really a hypothetical, the Nazis participated in democracy as well, and the SPD sided against the KMT. We are also seeing the Democrat-majority US commit genocide right now, which won't change if Trump or Biden are elected.
Coward.
If you could be a power ranger, which would you be? If you don't answer, you're a coward.
In seriousness, what's the point of an electoral hypothetical that doesn't in any way match the US electoral system?
Nevermind then - you're just an idealist with a black and white view of the world. They're all just Nazis after all. All of them. They're all the same. Guess I'm a Nazi too from your POV.
You're not a Nazi, just someone who said they would vote for the Nazis a few comments earlier.
No, the world isn't black and white, but genocide is unacceptable.
