All of this is true; however, at the end of the day, it still seems bothersome that me voting and me not voting has the exact same outcome. It won't affect anything. Even if I care who wins.
Some people say, "well, if everyone who thought like you voted instead, they could make a difference." Okay, fine, you're right, I'll vote instead then. I do, and it's still logically equivalent to not voting.
I mean, obviously we should all vote, but it just always seemed weird to me that society relies on everyone performing an individually inconsequential action.
