A Word To People That Won't Vote Because They Say Their Vote Won't Count.....
I listen to progressive radio and a lot of discussion lately has to do with GOTV in November and the poor showings of voters at some of the recent primary races around the country.
What really irks me are the people that say that their lonely vote doesn't count.
My counter to that is - look at all the money being raised and given by donors like the Koch Bros & Adelson, etc. They are raising this money to essentially buy votes.
Think about it people - look how much they are willing to spend to buy a vote. That my friends is how important your vote is. That is the price of a vote in this country.
If they are willing to spend so much to buy a vote - then they must think that that one lonely vote that each and everyone has is worth it to buy.
So the next time you are talking to a person that says - their vote doesn't count - use this response to get them to think twice about what they are saying.
It would be interesting to see - and I haven't had the time to research it - if someone has quantified and put a dollar amount on a vote.
