It really is silly how many people are quick to say that their vote doesnt matter. Its like they think theres no point to the entire process if their vote isnt the deciding factor.

Mhm, I dont get it myself. At what point do you actually consider your vote to matter? When its within 5 points? 1 point? Plus theres so many local elections that could actually have immediate effects on your future that totally ignoring them just seems irresponsible

Not proud as much as indifferent. I do my best to ignore these people and their ads so like I said before even if I was interested in voting I'd be picking at random if not who advertised the least. Is that somehow better?

And to those who think their vote doesn't matter you're still kinda right. Take those who voted for Trump. He's doing a reasonable job. But he's unable to make all the changes he could because other areas of the gov't will drag their feet and protest. No single person has full power for a reason, but that also works against us if shitheads like lobbyists and corporations can't be totally nuked.

It's what happens when you tell everybody that they're unique, they assume their opinion is an outlier (and thus unsupported by democracy).

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a party had an ad campaign quoting the title word for word.

Yes it does. Local elections and ballot measures get decided by vote margins of <1,000.

Y'all I get being disillusioned and frustrated about our systems, but saying "fuck the system" while not taking a basic step to change parts of the system is defeatist.

With the amount of voting fraud around, the only system that actually matters is manual. I don't vote because it really is a waste of time. I already know the Conservatives are going to win in 2019 so my vote isn't needed. Then it may go back to the Liberals in 2023. Either way, I'll be gone from this shithole country so it doesn't matter to me.

Voter fraud legitimately doesn't happen on a wide-scale basis in the U.S. Get rid of this crutch of an excuse.

If you live in a heavily red or blue state how do you expect to gain ground if not for voting? I live in a swing state so my vote matters in the more literal sense people think of, but if I lived in a pure red state of course i'd vote. There are things decided not just by who wins but by how many votes somebody gets, for example if I liked the green party I would vote so we could inch closer to the 5% needed in some places to get on the actual ballot next time. stuff like that.

plenty of reasons to vote, not a single reason not to is valid imo.

Great example. Florida missed out on legalizing marijuana in 2014 because the amendment needed to reach 60% approval by voters. I think it was like 56-58% in the end? I'll look it up.

I honestly prefer higher voter turnout than not, regardless of whether we agree on politics and policy. A strong foundation starts with high participation rates, along with improving the transparency around our election processes.
