Comic #3567: 2015-02-21
Description
Here’s a transcription of the text in the comic:
Panel 1: Text: "It's very important that every citizen votes in national elections."
Panel 2: Person 1: "But why? Suppose I and one other person in this room are voting against each other. We cancel out. So, our votes are a waste of time."
Panel 3: Person 2: "It'd be more efficient to have every person find someone who votes the other way, then mutually agree not to vote. Then, only people who can't find a pair will actually go to a voting booth."
Panel 4: Person 1: "So, in your scenario, the biggest voting blocs would be people who've never spoken to anyone with an opposing viewpoint."
Panel 5: Person 2: "But that's basically how it works now!"
Panel 6: Person 3: "No, no, I was agreeing with you."
