    if game theory dictated human behavior, and if you are right about the options and outcomes, then no one would vote third party. so either you’re wrong about the options and outcomes, or game theory doesn’t dictate human behavior

      In many countries, third parties are very viable. In this particular election, in the US, they are not.

      Game theory happens to humans weather they acknowledge it or not. What you are experiencing is the illusion of choice in an outcome constrained system.

        there is no point in bickering about this. go read the wikipedia article and argue with the editors there.

          Agree. You WILL see Biden or trump as the next president. Depending on where you live, your may have helped that along. You may not like what your helped.

          I am not wrong. You are in a constrained system. You have no extra choices. Believe what you like, live with what you do.

          Edit you’ve not once suggested a meaningful rebuttal. You’re position is without merit.

                characterizing me correcting you and calling out your lies and bullying as whining doesn’t bolster your position

                    your position depends on someone believing a vote for cornel west is a vote for trump. it’s an absurdity.

                    your position is dubious and the subject of serious debate.

            You are in a constrained system.

            no, i’m not. it’s fundamentally dishonest to tell someone they are.

              You ARE! Biden or trump will be your next president, and your votes can only :

              Help Biden Help trump Hurt Biden Hurt trump.

              That’s it.

              Again, you don’t understand being choice limited. Depending on where you live, doing nothing will help trump.

              That’s fine, just be aware of your actions. That’s the game theory. Even not voting is a choice.

                saying i am doesn’t make it so. i will have at least 4 names on my ballot.
