Imagine you're choosing between two ice cream flavors: chocolate and vanilla. You love chocolate, but vanilla is the most popular one. Sometimes people vote for vanilla just because they think it has a better chance of winning, even if they don’t like it as much. That’s what happens in voting! People pick the candidate they think will win more easily, even if that person isn’t their favorite.
Examples
- A person loves Candidate A, but votes for Candidate B because they think Candidate A has no chance of winning.
