Your Vote Doesn't Mean Shit

Even in one of the closest presidential elections in history, such as the 2000 election, your single vote would not have made a difference.  Voting for the lesser of two evils because you think you can sway the election is *STUPID*.  You would have a better chance of winning the lottery multiple times in a row.  A vote for a 'lesser of two evils' candidate is a wasted vote, pure and simple.

It isn't necessarilly collective.  You can always go vote for the candidate you want just as an easy way of showing your support for them.  It isn't necessarilly to win.  Many people do things to show support for a given policy, not necessarilly to win, but sometimes just to show support for it.  This is why you should always vote for your favorite candidate, without exception.  If you ARE going to vote, you as an individual simply don't have any reason not to do it.
