How this works in reality is; item is put on the table, established is if there are any potential dissenting opinions, then there is talked about possible changes to the proposal, if changes are possible, the question of dissent is put to the participants again and if necessary there is more talk about solutions. Only if at the end of it you come to the conclusion that you can't get everyone on board, you decide to actually vote on the issue and you can be either outvoted (no versus yes) or express that you didn't actually vote in favor (abstension).You can't be outvoted or abstain if there is no actual vote because there is nobody left objecting.
