That’s right. But even there, if one individual person truly considers ONLY their own vote, they will conclude “it wouldn’t have mattered if I did/didn’t vote.” I am 100 percent not endorsing this at all. At all!

I mean…if this person wants their vote to be the deciding one, then it turns out yeah, they don’t want a democracy!

Totally understood! You’re making excellent points. I’m 66 now but I remember having that very same thought in 1980, after Reagan won. I’ve always voted but took me years to regain confidence in voting as an effective collective act after that election.

In 2020, we lost my local congressional seat by 6 votes. I knock doors, and I point this out. I actually think it sometimes backfires: people get stressed out by the idea that they personally could decide an election. They want to be part of a win but not to have that kind of responsibility for it.
