Your vote does nothing individually. You don’t get to personally choose your representatives. You vote for who you want, and whichever candidate gets the most votes is the one who represents you, regardless of whether they were your choice.
Your choice in OS is completely individual. You can choose Linux, your neighbor can choose Windows, your other neighbor can choose MacOS, and you all get what you want. It’s a different dynamic entirely. Large scale consequences of millions of people choosing one way or another in regards to OS are a completely unrelated phenomenon.
I didn’t miss your qualifier, it just isn’t a useful qualifier. You can vote your conscience and get force-fed a huge pile of shit, or hold your nose and vote for the smaller pile of shit and maybe get it. You can endorse whoever you want, but you’ll be eating shit regardless. And ballots are anonymous, so “endorsement” isn’t the right word in the first place.
