Then you missed the point of the article, which is about why the parties in a system like the US's can be expected to be ideologically similar, based on game-theoretic considerations. I mean, you may have the opinion that it's a

Perhaps this is just me, but I would much, much sooner ride free public transportation in my spare time than check myself into a free hospital. Moreover, hospitals really ought to be a perfect example of a thing that's harmless to offe
