It’s not a valid political strategy if you never account for losing your own money. It’s not $30 or nothing. It’s $30 or I file bankruptcy and have all my possessions taken away from me.
The stakes can change your risk-benefit assessment, but the fundamental dynamics are the same. Even if there’s a gun to my head, there are limits to what deal I’ll accept. “Kill another captive and I’ll let you live five more minutes,” for example.

Missing out on $30 vs losing $30 (or $300, or $3000, etc) doesn’t change the dynamics of the situation.
It does.
Maybe for someone who has nothing to lose it doesn’t.
We call that privilege.

I know what a zero-sum game is, but I don’t see how it’s relevant to this conversation.
Guess you lose two health bars? Seems like you presented the wrong evidence.
wait, having nothing to lose is privilege? I thought it was generally the other way around
