Ina democracy you are responsible for your vote. If there are two choices and you don’t pick the one that is even 0.1% better you are helping the worse one, and that is your fault. The repercussions are on you. It’s simple logic. There’s no benifit is not voting for the better option. You don’t have to vote for a candidate- you can vote against the other. You don’t help anything by not voting.
There’s nothing magical that happens if you don’t vote. The candidate with the most vote wins. Thats it. If A is better than B, you should vote A. Even if there are major problems with A. Otherwise we get B, which is worse. Worse is bad.
That analogy doesn’t apply at all. Not voting is a decision that doesn’t help elect the better candidate, therefore you are responsible for helping the worse candidate.
it doesn’t help elect any candidate at all, but it does prevent me from being responsible for what they might do in office. the people responsible are those who elect them.

voting for a fascist is not good.

if I don’t drive a car, I cannot be responsible for that car running over someone.

No. You are responsible for the elected candidate if you don’t vote against them. Take responsibility for your action or inaction, already.
