Do you feel like your vote really matters?

I know this probably won't go over well on this board. And by no mean am I a democrat at all. But unless you live in
One of these states

Florida
Ohio
Wisconsin
North Carolina
Michigan
Iowa
New Hampshire
Arizona
Nevada

Does your vote even matter on President?

Um, yeah.

If you don’t vote, you have ZERO right to complain.

I live in TN where Trump will win by 10+ points, but that doesn’t mean I’m not taking my happy arse to the polls on November 3rd to cast my vote for him.

No.

But I vote anyways. For me, it's the right thing to do.

What happens if we just throw our arms up and say to hell with it and then the President loses 3 or 4 smaller states? You don’t think that would be a big deal?

Unless you want your state to turn into one of those states, you’d better keep voting.

All votes matter.

The swing states get the most attention but they only get that attention because of the block of voters making up the non-swing states allowing people like yourself to take them for granted.

Yes it does. People saw that realization in 2016, and the special elections in major Dem strongholds showed the exact same thing before this bullshite happened.

The powers that be want people to believe their vote doesn't count, because then the brainwashed idiots can shape the elections.

It's not working for them...especially as more people wake up

Our right to vote is a privilege, and we should take advantage of the chance to participate in a living and fair democracy.

The less people vote, the less politicians are kept honest.

And the total vote may not matter for the election of the President if you're in a state that's already decided which color it's going to go, but you can't act like the popular vote doesn't matter. Look how much it's brought up by liberals to complain that Hillary got more votes for her turn but still lost, as if that's how it works. Go out and vote and add your voice.

As I posted recently, all the underhanded tactics employed by the elites, the left, and the media in attempts to overthrow the rightfully elected president over the last few years leaves me wondering if my vote will count come November.

How can we expect a fair and unbiased election count after watching our enemies go to these lengths to destroy our country? Would they go through all this trouble to unseat Trump and then stand-by with their fingers crossed while we go to the polls?

I hope I'm wrong...

I think it matters. Trump did not win the popular vote last time and Democrats have been trying to use it as ammo to change the system. You have states trying to implement their own changes to the system to ensure a Democrat gets the EC votes even if they don't win the state. Every conservative needs to vote to ensure Trump wins both the EC and the popular.

We have the Democrat presidential candidate saying police need to go out of their way to try not to kill a person that is actively tying to kill them. Multiple Democrats are prioritizing the lives of looters over the business owners whose lives and livelihoods are being destroyed by these looters.

Your vote may be more important now than it ever has been.

If you only show up every 4 years to vote only for a president you are not paying enough attention. Your local elected officials have more direct effect on your community that a president. Your state representative has more direct effect than your congressional representatives.

I want as many people that share my value system between me and a president as I can get. That starts with where I choose to live and who I vote for at the most local levels. A good strong mayor and city government protects me from riots and looters even if the state doesn’t. A good strong state government protects my interests even if the federal government doesn’t. And my community will rise with me if there is a failure that cannot otherwise be overcome.

For the President, not as much.

But, my local votes definitely matter and have much more of an impact on my daily life. I always research propositions and candidates and make sure I'm informed when I go to the voting booth.
