 Have you ever done something you didn't want to do for someone you care about? That's all this is. Yes, I care about Ross and his mom. I'll do this meaningless task for them. 

I am well aware of the facade.  
 It’s not a meaningless task if there’s a meaning behind the task. 
 It's the thought that counts, I guess. 😂

 You're being conned to maybe help one person while blowing off the thousands he's fucked over all the way back to the 80s. Have some dignity son. 
 I lose nothing if I vote or don't vote. It's probably all bullshit, but I said I'd do it when Ross' mom asked me to. She believes, and that's good enough for me.  
 Mom's are certainly powerful - I get it.
