Beto is the most consistently pro-immigration, anti-Drug War, and anti-intervention serious candidate, with a record dating back to his city council days. But he likes markets, and has to play coy wirh that for political reasons, so, sure, he has no political principles.

*whispers* It's not just voting. 99% of the time when someone says something is "irrational" because of econ theory (gift giving, college, etc), they are telling on themselves that they have very blindered preferences.

Matt Johnson

I like this initiative, but honestly I think the idea that economic theory implies voting is irrational is garbage. A vote can be an expression of being part of something bigger than yourself, or reflecting preferences for reciprocity, which can be a big part of one’s utility.
