      by abstaining they lowered the total number of votes by one, effectively helping the winner of the vote

          Depends on your definition of “vote”. In the literal sense, they didn’t.

              You are being deliberately obtuse and intellectually disingenuous here.

                  Let’s find a term that makes you happy.

                  How about, they CONDONED what’s happening by not voting.

                    that’s making a leap of logic. all we know for sure is that they didn’t vote.
