Why vote when the electoral college votes are really the only ones that are counted. And if you live in a state that’s already determined to vote for democrat/republican then why vote at all?
Good point. I did not bother to vote last time because I knew that Hillary would win California, and she did. I only voted for Hillary in the primary because I don't want Bernie Sanders to win California.
The Electoral College only counts in Presidential elections. I consider it my Civic duty to vote. And even more so to cast an informed vote. And being informed is not watching campaign ads, etc. but researching voting records and personal positions on matters, before some one decided to run for office.
I don't vote, for pretty much that reason, as one person, my vote isn't going to change anything, but then two thirds of the USA don't vote, because it's not compulsory, and you know, that's not even democracy to me.
If you don't like it, then do something, brother. Take action. Your voice may be small, but there's a lot of people out there who feel the same way as you. Participate in local and state elections, where your vote matters, and write to your reps to make it known that you want change.

Yet another "question" by a foreign troll who has no idea how the electoral college system works in the USA.

You're right. You should stay home.

Change starts small.
It's all just a waste of time I know
You lack knowledge of how voting works.
Why vote when neither side represents you
