Yeah, I knew you meant Goode. I was pointing out that every vote lost to Romney also gets Obama closer. The consequences of your plan and all...

Since it is unlikely that any election is decided by a single vote, if one adopts the logic of “only if my single vote is the difference” the resulting conclusion is that my single vote makes no difference, it doesn’t matter in the outcome of the election which is the primary reason for voting at all.

So one free to do virtually anything: Such as vote for Virgil, stay home, vote for Romney, vote for Obama...

Your argument removes all meaning from your argument - and any argument - for or against an individual voting, or not voting, for anyone.

Wrong - the conclusion is that factors other than who wins the election need to be considered ... particularly factors like message-sending that, unlike who wins, are nonbinary. (That is, a message can have degrees of loudness whereas one either wins or doesn't.)
