We are on a spinoff of a poker forum. Maximize the EV of your vote. Makes no sense to not vote at all. Write in the prog candidate if necessary if the Edem is going to win by 30 points. But if the Edem is within a few points you’re throwing away EV by staying home. And no the it has to get worse before it gets better thing is complete ahistorical garbage

That being said, my reps are Presley Warren and Markey so I literally have 0 EV besides voting for incumbents.
hah try to undo the memory hole here and remember when there was such outcry about this comment “omg he’s talking about jailing political opponents!”
fast forward to 2021:
“maybe my vice president should be hanged.”
no one bats an eye.
Look, man, hanging Mike Pence is just good policy.

The actual EV of your vote is almost certainly < the effort to cast it. This would still be true if one candidate was Actually Good, but in that case, you could at least derive some personal satisfaction from the process.

You’ve got the GOAT trifecta there for what it’s worth. Two of the top five senators and a top, I dunno, 10, 20, rep? Could easily argue a bit higher on both chambers.
EV of a fold in the game of Texas Hold Them is 0, except in tournament scenarios.
Idk. If you fold a premium hand preflop that has +EV, folding is a missed opportunity.
It has bi-partisan support.

not in cases in which multiple other players are all in preflop and you have action - in some cases it is a correct fold ATC.
The old the exception proves the rule logic?
Hoping Vermont can get a trifecta close to that this midterm. Bernie/Welch/Balint would make me very happy.
If I were being held prisoner and I was rescued by some special forces and had a choice between having the guy who did the recuing wearing a marijuana patch on his shoulder or a US patch, not going to lie, I’d want the MJ patch. Just adding onto what must be an already cool story. Not saying the US patch is bad just let’s go balls to the wall if we’re already being part of a daring rescue.

51 seats would be chef’s kiss because then we get to have two more years of VoTe HaRdEr.
