    Voting for neither is the same as voting for both.

    if voting for neither is the same voting for both, then can we formally acknowledge that my vote makes zero difference and maybe people can stop votescolding?

      No, because voting for one is not the same as voting for neither/both.

      Voting for the perfect candidate > voting for A > not voting > voting for B

      The perfect candidate didn’t exist, but instead of choosing the second best option, you chose the third best option, and we ended up with the worst option because a lot of people did what you did. Thanks a bunch.
