(August 30, 2012 at 4:05 am)idunno Wrote: the point of the analogy is to show that alternative possibilities aren't necessary to freely choose something. Though he can't actually can't vote republican, it doesn't matter since he chooses democrat without the device forcing him to do so.

You don't get it, do you? Yes, he chooses to vote democrat, but if he decided not to, or a process started that would lead him not to, the machine kicks in and FORCES him to vote democrat. By who's definition is that free will?
