    That's true. And voting for the lesser of two evils, is still voting for evil.

    So if I don't vote for either does that mean I'm voting for both? And if I vote for both I've voting for neither? (and also trying to cheat by voting twice to not accomplish anything even if I get away with it, but still)

    If you dont vote for either that means you are satisfied with who is in 1st and in a lazy manner passively voted for 1st.  If you vote for both you committed voter fraud and that makes you an unethical person.

    So, if you vote for 3rd, you lazily voted for 1st? Makes a lot of sense. Get off your soapbox. No one knows who is 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th ... until after.

    and like 3# but has no chance of winning, meaning your voting for 1#...
    and not voting is voting for 1#...
    and voting for both is voting for 1# while committing voter fraud...
     
    I'm seeing 0 out of 5 for correct answers...
     
    Reminds me of "The Game" where you can't win or even not play, and losing is the only possible option.
     
    If there is a correct answer, I'd like to know however.

    You should choose whichever you dislike the least for when choosing between #1 and #2.  The only time you can be stuck is if you equally dislike #1 and #2 to where you cannot decide, in which case you should go with the majority choice of #1.

    The correct answer is that the premise is stupid from the start. There is no way of knowing for sure who is #1, #2, #3, #4, etc., until after the voting is done.

    Stupid thread.

    If there is a correct answer, I'd like to know however. 

    The correct answer is that the premise is stupid from the start. There is no way of knowing for sure who is #1, #2, #3, #4, etc., until after the voting is done.

    Stupid thread.

    I started a vote in this thread and as of right now there is a #1 and voting has not concluded.  You are missing the point that it is relevant to the structure of the voting system, stop being closed minded as it limits your intelligence.

    maybe the naming is a bit off, instead, let's call the options A, B, and C, and the order 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. and A is currently leading.
     
    it which case I'm voting for C because it's the best answer. And as this is an abstract hypothetical, and all options have no real attributes, other than their name, saying C is the best answer is equally valid as any other option.
     
    Though I do see the point, everyone arguing about what should or shouldn't be done, if the voting system is even meaningful, etc. A will win. You can have the most valid and well thought out point in the world, but if you don't act on it, it won't do much.
