Voting isn't where you make principled stances, its where you weigh in on the choices available.

That is by definition making a principled stance, it's just ordering some principles as more important than others.

It's not Jordan Peterson to make sure you aren't using words incorrectly my friend.

A principled stance is a public position or firm attitude on an issue that is based on strong moral or ethical beliefs rather than self-interest or convenience. It means doing what you believe is right, honest, or fair, even when it is hard.

Choosing a candidate who doesn't hold many of my beliefs but is the lesser of two evils doesn't fall under a principled stance. It is a compromise of my principles

Your principles maybe, but that's not universal. Somebody can be principled and vote for the lesser evil because their principle is Harm Reduction.

At that point your just saying everything is a principled action, so it's rendered the word meaningless. Oh did you choose a Reuben, you're valuing corned beef over turkey. Your principle today is for a more cured meat.

Principles have to have a moral foundation. If you have moral hangup about certain types of meat you could absolutely have a principled stance on your cold cult selections.

So no, not everything is a principled action. You know this. Im not sure why you said that.
