    You can put your vote behind one of them or a trash can. Of the three, which is most likely to be influenced to go the direction you want?

    That’s what voting is for.

      If you give me your vote unconditionally, then I have what I wanted and give up nothing in return. Even if you stand outside and shout at me after you gave me your vote, it still doesn’t matter because you gave me what I wanted willingly with zero conditions. Clearly, my position on any topic is of no interest to you either, otherwise you would have tried to make a deal with me, but you didn’t.

      So how about this: You give me your vote, and I’ll do whatever the fuck I want.
