Do you think political parties are using prediction markets (like Polymarket) to influence public perception by placing large bets that create the illusion of momentum or limited choices?
There is a documented psychological effect in political behavior research with polling, betting, and financial markets. With the growing popularity of betting markets is this the new way both parties are able to create a false dichotomy of what they believe your choices should be? Virtually similar to campaign contributions from packs and corporations to "buy" congress/senate/state and local reps/ect.
