“Presumably, the point of voting is to change things you don’t like or to make the world a better place by electing the ‘right’ people, but the likelihood that your vote will affect the outcome of an election is vanishingly small. And the ‘right’ people are almost always wrong. Consider that it takes about 3,633,600 drops of water to fill a 40-gallon bathtub (90,840 drops per gallon). Considering that 155,240,953 people voted in the 2024 election, your vote is like a single drop in 43 bathtubs. What are the odds that your drop will fill the forty-third tub? And yet democracy is the only game in town.” (10/03/25)
