I just did. My answer is neither.
You'll have to elaborate on why that isn't an option in your hypothetical if you don't accept that.
Do you just not understand what a hypothetical is?
For those reading, the reason Objection won't answer this very simple question is because they're smart enough to know exactly where I'm going with it, and they know that it reveals their position as indefensible.
This is the Lemmy Lefty playbook to a T.
Of course I understand what a hypothetical is, and I answered what I would do in the situation you presented me with. You don't accept that answer for some arbitrary reason, but you won't explain why it wouldn't be an option.
My position is perfectly defensible. This is like asking a vegan "Would you rather eat pork or beef?" and when they reject both options, you claim that it means their position is indefensible.
Let me make this simple for the people that might be swayed by your rhetoric.
When you throw away your vote, you will still be forced to have either Kamala or Trump as your president after the election. That's a simple fact.
But as a vegan, you will continue to have the option of not eating any meat.
Again, you're not stupid enough to actually try and make that comparison. I'm just appalled that you're so disingenuous that you'd do it anyways.
