    God I hate that Americans have decided that you vote for the person you like rather than vote to stop the worst person.

    Turns out game theory [as described in this election] doesn’t describe how people (on aggregate) actually behave. It does describe how some people think people should behave (I may sometimes agree), but not how they actually do.

    If I know you rationally follow game theory [as described], I’m going to offer you far less than anyone else because I know game theorists [as…] take any win, no matter how small. Ultimatum game? I offer everyone a 50-50 split, except game theorists, to whom I offer a penny. They’ll take it too.

    Dems didn’t appeal to how people actually act, and so you all lost. Their supporters refused to acknowledge the reality of how groups behave, and so you all lost.

      Are you claiming I am a Democrat? Can you present some evidence to that effect?
