Note that, for rational *altruists* (with nothing vastly better to do like alignment), voting can be huge on CDT grounds—if you actually do the math for a swing state, the leverage per voter is really high. In fact, I think the logically counterfactual impact-per-voter tends to be lower than the impact calculated by CDT, if the election is very close.
