Yes, but you will vote for one with no chance, just so you can say you didn't
vote for the winner.


I don't feel the obligation to waste my vote on someone I don't like
just so I might be able to say "I won".
I vote for someone I believe in and so I can look myself in the
mirror.

Of course that is your right (and priviledge) as a citizen in a
constitutional democracy. But what if it turns out that one of the
two candidates you don't like is doing everything possible to
circumvent and undermine the constitution? What if that same
candidate has demonstrated a lack of intellectual capacity to
understand basic science, and disrepects experts in the field of
medecine? What if that same person openly supports neo-nazis and
white supremicist groups?

In my mind it should be a top priority to get that person out of
office before more damage is done.


How about the present Democrat candidate? Supported racist groups, not
white supremacy, but still racist. How about a VEEP who was in office when
the President got illegal FISA warrants, undermining the election. The
VEEP when the Mideast wars were expanded? I did not vote for either major
candidates last election and will not give any numerical support to them
this election. California will go Democrat no matter what. A VEEP running
with Biden who he claims overcame being black and the education system.
Kamela Harris went to private schools, her mom is a multiple Phd. So you
have another lying professional politician!
