One reason he isn't ruling out voting in person.
There's a chance I could.
Cook says his biggest decision isn't who to vote for it's overcoming the regret that comes with the alternative.
So I guess it's better to vote than to say I just did nothing.
1)rule out doing sth 这是接动名词短语结构吧?rule out 后不能接不定式吧?
2) it's overcoming...这里it指代什么? 又为什么使用了主动语态和现在进行时呢?
3) 请分析 than to say I just did nothing. than后接了不定式,这里是than (it would be if I were) to say I just did nothing 省略结构吗?
So I guess it's better to vote than to say I just did nothing.
= So I guess it's better to vote than (to) say I just did nothing.
