    Huh sounds like the people who have 3 blocks have a lot of influence. Considering the stakes shouldn’t the ones with the big towers be trying to appease the ones with three blocks?

    I mean this doesn’t sound insignificant at all. I thought they were “not moving any metrics”?

      By appeasing the 3 blocks, you’ve now lost 10 blocks from your own tower. Congratulations!

      Sure, let’s go down this line of reasoning. You appease the 3 blockers, and lose 10 blocks in the process. Now the Dem tower is 41 and the GOP tower is 59. Objectively a bad trade. What incentive does that provide?

        so it’s, “our way or Hitler 2.0?”

        Isn’t “Our Way” the whole Green New Deal to save everyone on the planet from roasting alive due to climate change?

          And when your analytics shows that adopting those policies will lose you more voters than you’d gain from the likely third party vote, what then?

      Sounds more like the people with three blocks know the consequences of a Trump victory and are using their vote as ransom to make demands over a single issue that will get far worse if Trump wins.

      So in essence. The people with three blocks are entitled and ignorant and quite possibly purposefully helping Trump win.
