Ina democracy you are responsible for your vote. If there are two choices and you don't pick the one that is even 0.1% better you are helping the worse one, and that is your fault. The repercussions are on you. It's simple logic. There's no benifit is not voting for the better option. You don't have to vote for a candidate- you can vote against the other. You don't help anything by not voting.
I'll stick with my answer on your other comment. I think these threads have gotten back to the same place.
voting for a fascist is not good.
There's nothing magical that happens if you don't vote. The candidate with the most vote wins. Thats it. If A is better than B, you should vote A. Even if there are major problems with A. Otherwise we get B, which is worse. Worse is bad.
if I don't drive a car, I cannot be responsible for that car running over someone.
That analogy doesn't apply at all. Not voting is a decision that doesn't help elect the better candidate, therefore you are responsible for helping the worse candidate.
