I said, among others. Also, it's a waste of time.

My reasons aren't solely the numbers, but that is a big part of it. Future elections will be handled by demographic shifts, much more than me, personally, going to vote against Trump.

Sure but your line of reasoning applies to millions of people, and if they all make the same decision as you do, for the same reasoning, then our democracy is worse for it.

It's like a cell going cancerous. Yeah, maybe one individual cell won't make you sick. But if millions do you've got a problem. It's a symptom of a trend that's not good.

Ultimately, you have to be the change you want to see in the world. If I give you a lever you can pull to make the world 0.00000000001% a nicer place or 0.00000000001% a worse place, and you choose to just not pull it at all - it's the same idea here.

If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. Ultimately that choice is just leaving donating the voice you had to other people, and letting other people determine your fate for you. It's pretty much the only voice in governance the average person get, and people fought and died for the chance while most people aren't even paying attention.

It's kind of a sad situation really. I'm sorry you feel like you don't matter. But it's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you could have done something but didn't.
