There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

  • It certainly does not establish “the logical framework” for the opposing case. Again, as I explained, the framework deals with 2 parties negotiating, which is not applicable to the argument presented.

        Because the parties you established are the voter, and the party asking for votes. Those are not the parties presented in the original argument.

        If you introduce more parties, it doesn’t change the dynamics of the situation.

        Of course it does.

          That’s called an analogy.

          Of course it does.

          No it doesn’t.

            • Prove it’s not. You’re the one claiming that the distinction makes it not analogous. I don’t know why you think that would change it so it’s impossible for me to address your reasons.

                Prove it’s not. You’re the one claiming that the distinction makes it not analogous.

                That’s not at all how the burden of proof works.

                I don’t know why you think that would change it so it’s impossible for me to address your reasons.

                You’re leaping to the assumption that the scenario you provided is even analogous to the one you replied to. It isn’t. You need to start by proving that it is.
