    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.

      circular reasoning is internally consistent.

        Circular reasoning is a logical fallacy.

        Why are you bothering to vote at all beyond mental masturbation?

          I have a right to vote. I don’t need to justify it to anyone. I vote for the person I want to win.

            That is irrelevant to my question. Please answer my question.

              it’s the only answer you’re going to get. I’m allowed to vote for anybody I want. I’ve over people I want to win.

          circular reasoning is not necessarily fallacious.

              as you can see on the page that you just linked, it is not a formal fallacy. circular arguments are internally consistent.

              when an action is an end in itself, saying so is not circular reasoning.

                Okay, if you won’t answer the question, I guess there’s nothing more to say.

                But I think we both know why you won’t answer the question.

                  I did answer the question pretending I didn’t is a weird tactic to get out of the conversation. have a nice day.
