Not voting equals apathy, which many politicians want. This makes things easier by assuring them they only need to appeal to their base. By not voting you feed this thought process. If votes for moderate, liberal, or conservative Independents rise, politicians will pay more attention, even if it is only lip service. At the very least, it gets some small measure of a message out. You are good at math, compare .001% of a chance to change things (Peace) to your 0.00% chance (possibly negative as you may be encouraging partisan hackery) to change anything?
Dave is on your side. I withdraw my objection.
