You DO know that MORE people live in the blue spaces than in the red ones, don't you?? They're called city folk. You are welcome to explain to me how California's and New York's populations will win you the House, the Senate, or the Governorships of the other 48 states. Go ahead. Side: It's pointless

There is no point in voting because anyone in the American political system is scum. If they were not scum, they would not be where they are. Politicians in America are either bought or buy their way into office, none of them work for the people. Side: You will vote regardless

Mathematically, it is very unlikely any person's one vote will swing an election. So what? It is irrelevant whether or not you think your one vote counts for anything in the grand scheme of things. Even if you think it is pointless, you should vote. Voting is not a right of citizens. It is one of our primary responsibilities. In an average American midterm election, the voter turnout is 40% or less. Think about the effect of that on whether or not members of Congress feel like they will be held responsible for how they do their jobs. Seriously, if fewer than 40% of eligible voters care about how well our elected representatives do their jobs, why should they try to be faithful representatives of the will of the people? If 60% of the country is basically pulling down the national pants and bending over, can we really blame Congress for ass-raping us? I don't care what your ideology is or who you vote for, if you are a citizen, VOTE! It is your job. Side: It's pointless
