At the debate, I claimed that each voter was wasting his / her vote, unless:

2. You vote your heart, your dreams, for the sake of sending a message.

Then, I tried to answer the usual, "But what if EVERYONE thought that way?"
My claim was this: unless you are a Jedi, and can control OTHER people's weaker minds, then you only get one vote.

I have this argument every four years. Apparently Americans are not that good at statistics.
Social norms are important. Doing your small bit to undermine them is not a useful contribution to political discourse.
Um....Manny, being an idiot is not good for the human race.
Please don't have children. Really, wear a condom. Over your head.
Great debate! I have voted my fears one time, and my impossible hopes all the other times. The only vote I regret is the one I cast out for the lesser of two evils. By the way, is that ridiculous charter school limit really going to last? What a crock.
