You're getting angry because I keep correcting what you're saying and you aren't able to get around the basic fact that you can't show me any plausible mechanism by which you choosing to vote accomplishes the goal of electing the your preferred candidate. As I said, there's no getting around it. If you can't do this, you concede the argument.
This theory is not new or particularly special, it's the outcome of the work of Anthony Downs who is basically the father of modern quantitative political science research. Like I said before, for people who have studied or worked in political science related fields the idea that voting is economically irrational in the way I've put forward is not controversial. If you think it is, you might want to consider why you've come to such a different conclusion.
It's a single argument, that voting is irrational. I was trying to explain it to you in a number of different ways to help you see the inherent conflict of individual rationality and collective outcomes that you are having trouble getting past. If you took that as multiple different arguments you simply aren't reading what I wrote closely or you didn't understand it.
I don't really know what else to say. I doubt repeating myself again will help.
