Nash equilibrium

With all the coverage that is currently taking place on the up coming elections. I can not help but be overwhelmed by the simularities and utter stupidity of current political parties. And how they are taking more and more power from the people the are sworn to help.
And my love for economics and math have led to me to applying a great leap in behavior theory, the Nash Equilibrium. Applying this to the current two party system gives as it seems to me the results of reality today. In that each of the parties by themselves and not playing against the other would do reasonably well for the american public (I"m biased in saying the republicans would be better, but then I mean better for me) but toghter and playing against one another we get a result that is far worse.
And why is the american public putting up with this, it seems common theme throughout america that the majority does not really like one candidate or the other, yet they do not act to excercise their vote elsewhere. I guess that is a credit to the scare tactics by the two big parties, and partly by press.
In other words my friends, economics is wonderful and math even better and the right to be able to excercise free though, speech and action is absolutly priceless so fight for it, even if the fight is no more than filling in the right circle election day.

ps. Jill I'm glad to hear your response on the last post, and I would direct you to this 56% of violent offenders are repeat offenders, and with repeated inability to show proper judgment for society should lose their right to decide affairs for the public i.e. vote. But then again I appear to have view points drastically opposed to the american public so who knows.

pss if this in at incoherent please forgive me, I am in the middle of a 30 hours work day at the hospital
