    I don’t think it does. A choice fostered upon me at the threat of violence is not a choice at all. I refuse to participate and therefore legitimize such a farce.

      Non-participation is not the same as doing nothing. If she chooses to date neither, neither is in her life. If you do nothing, you still get trump or Biden. The analogy doesn’t hold.

      You’re free to do nothing, but smart people choose to minimize harm when there are only bad choices in front of them.

        Who said I’m “doing nothing”? Voting isn’t doing anything. Only actions outside the ballot matter.
