An organized boycott is different than just making an individual choice. And again, a single person defecting from the boycott won't make any difference either

- AlbertCory 4y agoSo you don't vote in elections, I take it? After all, almost no election is ever decided by one vote. (If it did happen, they'd have a recount because there are probably counting errors.)
- cortesoft 4y agoRationally, you are right that voting as an individual doesn't matter (I linked the Paradox of Voting in another comment for this very reason). I still do vote, though, because there are non-rational reasons I think voting is important. You are absolutely right, though, that pure game theory says voting is not important, and I believe that is why voting is not how we make changes to our society (at least not directly). It takes organizing.
