Just how important is your vote?
If your candidate did not win and you chose not to vote, just consider yourself one of the more useless citizens we are stuck with. If you voted and your candidate did not win - that's democracy. Just try harder next time and don't give up.
Commentator Chris Matthews (whom I do not like) has a promo that was right on point: "No one's vote is more important than yours unless you don't vote - then everybody's vote is more important than yours."
