Police who raided a marijuana store, destroying security cameras and the DVR, harassing the store's customers, consuming edible marijuana products, and playing darts, were caught on camera. The cops claim that said recording is illegal because the cops had an expectation of privacy after destroying all of the security cameras.

I wish I could make up this stuff.

    The "self-fulfilling prophecy" is there whether you liked it or not.

    You could call it the prisoner's dilemma, but it might be just a related phenomenon with similar consequence. The core problem is that optimizing for what's "good" for each individual voter (the lesser evil) does not yield globally optimal solution (3rd party).

    If people had a true hive-mind they could just take logical advantage of the expectation that everyone else will do the same and jump over the "cliff", but unfortunately we just aren't like that in the required magnitude.

    Don't confuse this with advocating voting for the lesser evil. That yields horrible results in time. The point is that the solution lies elsewhere if it exists at all. (ie. convince the rulers that changing the voting system is in their interest)

    Alternatively, you can buy that "scare the scumbags into adopting 3rd party policies" actually works.

    People create it. So yes, it is there whether I like it or not. Most people are extremely short-sighted and I do not expect anything else, but the answer is not to give up.
