    I never said it was? Or that I was merely satisfied with that? Voting is the very least a person can do as a citizen, and discouraging people from doing it for ANY reason is asinine.

      I am a firm believer that if you lower people’s expectations of what voting does they’ll be more willing to do it. Tell folks it’s gonna change the world and they’ll give up when they find it doesn’t. It’s the only thing that kept me voting after 2004.

      So maybe your way is right: Just vote so a number nobody cares about exists somewhere.
