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.

If Boro is claiming that others are wasting their time by voting:

I am arguing that if a bunch of people are going to waste their time voting anyway

...then trying to influence their behavior is still a negative EV move. In other words, a losing play is a losing play.

In the end, by conceding there's value in trying to change voter behavior, I think Boro is conceding there's value in voting. I don't see a way around deducing this.
