Then prove that voting is objectively and endorsement of a candidate/party. That’s your claim.

That’s just definitionally what those words mean. To say “This candidate is the best choice, I’m voting for them and others should to” is an endorsement, and to say “I endorse this candidate” means, “This candidate is the best choice, I’m voting for them and others should too.” I suppose you could argue they’re technically different if you lie about how you’re voting or don’t tell anyone about it.

For the second, you already agreed previously that it is tactically the best move.

Blatant lie. I have consistently disagreed with that at every single point of this conversation.

Under FPTP, one can absolutely use their vote to denounce a candidate and vote against them taking office. Especially if that vote has a chance of actually pushing the needle far enough to make that happen.

Blatant lie.

You agreed that:

  • Kamala or Trump will be elected president
  • Trump losing would be better overall in the short term
  • Trump losing would be better overall in the long term

Do you need me to link that for you?

Only by contradicting yourself. To denounce a candidate is to say that you shouldn’t vote for them.

None of those things are the same as concluding that voting for Kamala is tactically correct, which I have repeatedly explained to you and been completely consistent on. That you think I should conclude that is not the same as me concluding it. To say that that’s what I concluded and that I already conceded the point when I’ve plainly told you otherwise is a blatant lie. You will retract that claim or this conversation is over, I will not continue with someone who lies about what I said.

Prove it.

Define “tactically correct”.
