biden 1st, warren 2nd, trump 3rd

- ClayShentrup 4mo agothat person is STRATEGIC VOTERS, who are about 90% of the electorate. even if you want to vote honestly, you're still subject to the whims of other voters. indeed, practically the only thing that matters in a voting method is the aggregate affect of what it achieves in light of other voters. YOUR vote will almost never make a difference. you could upgrade voting methods in exchange for giving up your right to vote, and you'd still be drastically better off.
- Dylan16807 4mo ago> that person is STRATEGIC VOTERS When I said "I" I meant me. This one person. And I was talking about that specific scenario. It wasn't a statement about "strategic voters" in other scenarios.
- ClayShentrup 4mo agoi know. and my point was, that's irrational. other voters determine the election result YOU have to live with.
