>>110938952A single vote never means anything. It's when a significant number of people has the same thought and votes in the same direction is when it means something.
The whole premise of democracy is voicing your own opinion through voting (as best as it is encapsulated by the political candidates). That you are making a real impact happens when other people share your opinion. Which is EXACTLY as it should be.
You do not vote to shape the world in your image. Voting is a mechanism to balance the opinions of the population and mold policy according to that balance.
Strategic voting ("if I don't vote for the big two, my vote means nothing") is retarded, seen this way. You are meant to voice your opinion as best as possible, that it "makes a difference" is contingent on the other peoples opinions.
