MODERATORS
If you do not vote, you support political parties that you do not agree with at all.
That's neither scientific or real.
Which science class did you learn that science fact in? Chemistry? Physics?
I mean, there is such a field as political science.
Wrong community.
Support? No.
Accidentally help gain traction/control? Yes.
I do not support the weeds taking over my garden. Though failing to fight them will still result in weeds all over my garden.
"support" has multiple definitions. My chair supports me.
Someone standing on my shoulders is being supported by me whether or not I like the situation.
If we take your chair away, you fall. If we take you away, the person standing on your shoulders falls.
What happens if we take a non-voter out of the picture? Does that change the outcome in any way?
This isn't political science, it's actual science. Get lost.
It's more like you support the one party who the majority of voters support.
Maybe? One-vote margins have happened, but they're pretty rare. The basic idea of strategic voting is also obvious to most people, if not some Lemmy kinds of people.
You could say that you're not not supporting them, at least. Some parties hope for low turnout.
