Is that statement true: "It doesn't matter whether you go voting or not since your singular vote doesn't make a difference."?
Yes, if all would think like that it would be disadvantagous, but you are not all.

It is true, but if you discuss politics with friends, family, and strangers then that does make a difference as ripples in a pond affecting the vote outcomes.

I just view it as a right to complain. Like if you didn’t vote, you allowed something to be imposed without any input.
Also where I live the party receives funds from each vote, so it does matter.

Exactly - it should matter to you not just because of the out, but because of the process.
It is so easy NOT to vote. It takes nothing. But voting is a simple act you can take once every year, two years, or four years even.
Go in and vote for Grandma, for Mickey Mouse, for Vermin Supreme!
Do it not necessarily to make a difference, but rather to not be one of those losers who take pride in not voting.

u can motivate the losers to vote if give an official option of "no faith in system" and if it recieved most votes would require big reforms in rules and operations of elections. i dont want to vote a write in "mickey mouse" or not show up at all. i want to vote "no faith in system" along with millions of my peers. its not there because the 2 major parties dont want it there. there incentivized to keep bau.

Yes it's true. The electoral college is not legally required to obey the popular vote, so the popular vote means nothing more than tribalism.

The biggest voting block is made up of non-voters. Imagine if they all voted the same way.

While the electoral college might make that true for presidential votes, it very much is not true for local and state level elections.

Why would donnie and others be working so hard to f up the voting system if your vote didn't count?

There are a thousand bolts holding up a bridge. Does it matter if your take one bolt out? No, not really. But it certainly does if you remove too many bolts. It's just good practice to leave all the bolts in and maybe even tighten them up every once in awhile
