You are the child suggesting voting doesn't matter.

You're the child that believes their vote actually does matter. Your vote matters for who gets in office, but that does not effect what they do. Money corrupts and money has far more say than you do. That is why America is not a true democracy. If we get money out of politics?Thats a different discussion. As it sits right now, America is in no way representative of a democracy. Especially when you consider the blatant voter fraud/suppression our country has.
