    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)?

                  So it all boils down to “because I said so” and I can’t argue with that because you really did say so…

                    I’m not over here trying to argue you out of consequentialism. there is absolutely no way you’re going to argue a degreed philosopher out of deontology (today. you could learn, maybe)
