I'll be sure to cast a vote as soon as I feel like my vote matters.

    If you're in a state that goes consistently one way or the other, it's probably true that it doesn't matter. For president, at least.

    I often vote third party, and I feel very comfortable doing that because my state is very consistent.

    I'm very much against voter nihilism regardless of the statistics. Regardless of if I'm getting steam rolled or not, I'm putting pen to paper and I want the record to show that someone didn't agree with the mob - me, it was me. The US is a two party system and personally I think that sucks. You are definitely "throwing your vote away" by conventional wisdom in such a system, but if everyone thinks this way there is no hope for any traction or interest in advancing third parties - so I agree with this form of voter suicide.

    Basically I think my vote matters even if it doesn't matter, so I vote for people I actually want. Lol. If there was a race where I had a strong preference between the two main party candidates and I thought my vote would have an impact, I'd ditch the third party for that race.
