General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Want to Stop Hillary? Here's a Place where You Can Donate [View all]Suppose (hypothetically of course) that there are 16 voters. Now compare two possibilities: (Case 1) 6 Dems vote for the Dem, 5 Reps vote for the Rep and 5 Dems do not vote; (Case 2) 6 Dems vote for the Dem, 5 Reps vote for the Rep, and 5 Dems vote for the Rep. In the first case the Democratic candidate wins a close one; in the second case the Republican candidate wins by a landslide. The only difference is that in the first case 5 Dems didn't vote for the lesser evil (the Dem) and in the second case 5 Dems did vote for the greater evil (the Rep). So clearly there is a difference between not voting for a Dem and voting for a Rep.
Obviously you are right that not voting Dem can sometimes help the Rep win. But voting Rep provides even more help to the Rep. There is a difference.
