By using your time to convince others to behave a certain way, aren't you contradicting the bolded? Surely it's not a waste of their time if you're spending your time to get them to change their voting behavior by starting this thread, right?

I guess its an EV calculation. Say Borodog spent 10 minutes thinking of that post and writing it out, but it would take 30 minutes for him to actually go to the polls. If Borodog thinks that he will change an average of .33 votes to get Ron Paul elected, it is better for him to make the post.
This doesn't make it worthwhile unless you account for how much utility Borodog will gain by influencing voters. I have no idea how to account for this.
