    what do I care what their chances of winning are if I don’t want them to win? why would I have over someone if I don’t want them to win?

      So neither Trump nor Biden will do a single thing you want to happen or a single thing you want to stop happening that the other will not? Not one?

        that isn’t my standard. my standard is whether I want someone to win. that’s why I vote for people.

            I vote for the person that I want. that’s what it achieves it’s an end in itself.

              No, that’s circular reasoning. That doesn’t explain why you do it. Although it sounds like you’re saying your vote is symbolic. I’m not sure why you bother voting at all in that case. No one will know you voted.
