I don't approve of people who say that if their preferred candidate doesn't get the nom that they refuse to vote But having listened to their bottomless bile and nonsense I kind of see where they're coming from because I don't really want them to be happy or healthy either

If NOBODY voted then the system would collapse, therefore I owe it to the world to act like I expect everyone else to act ...But if that's true, then I should act according to deontology in general If I think Ralph Nader should be President I should vote for him

Even if I'm the only person in the world who votes for him and I've thus "thrown my vote away" After all you just said that I shouldn't think about how much difference my personal vote makes but should act the way people in general should act

Do you mean that out of ALL ethical systems, only deontology gives a compelling reason to vote? Because it seems there's a fairly straightfoward case, or cases, for it under any variety of virtue ethics.

I'm not really a huge fan of virtue ethics and so don't spend that much time thinking about the distinction between virtue ethics and deontology
