If it were pointless to vote, billionaires wouldn't be spending barge loads of cash to convince you one way or another.
The only way your vote doesn't matter is if you don't vote at all.
Voting matters for local elections.
Voting matters if you ever want to stop situations in which 50 billionaires think it is okay to try to buy an election. Nobody likes this crap.
Basically how I imagine it's going to be for along time. Federal is mostly nothing but damage control, state is the same depending on where you are, local is where you have the most impact
-Robert A. Heinlein
As true as it ever was
Fucking vote.
Billionaires: spend billions of dollars to convince you not to vote
You: Guess I shouldn't vote
