    You do know the future though. At least - to some extent. You know that one of two candidates is going to be elected, not matter what. Or, at least, almost no matter what. Maybe a huge asteroid will hit the Earth and the elections won’t matter. But the probability for these is so low, that you can effectively “count on” the fact that one of these two candidates is going to get elected.

    The only question is which one.

      knowledge of the future is impossible since you can only know true things and the future hasn’t happened yet, so it has no truth value.

        Isn’t the entire anti-voting argument based on the knowledge that the candidate you’ll vote for will do bad things in the future?

            What they’ve said and done in the past serves as an indicator for what they’ll do in the future if elected. If you ignore that aspect, then voting becomes a system for rewarding politicians rather than a system for deciding the future of a country.

              but the ethics can’t be in what they do in the future. the ethics of the action are in the vote itself, and the only information yo uhave is about the past.

                So… (1) voting for bad people is bad, not because they’ll do bad things if they’ll be put in power, but because jump to (1)?
