 This isn’t hard. You did 0% (not voting) I did 100% (voting). Doing nothing is not the same as doing something.

 Your action made no impact on the world. In what sense is that actually doing something?

If the world is going to be exactly the same regardless of the action you take, then there was no point in taking it and you deserve no credit for the outcome.

That you have to vote to be entitled to an opinion is some of the lowest IQ state propaganda out there.

 Actually my action does have an impact since I am in a battleground state and a handful of states like mine will decide the outcome of the election. 

The impact is marginal sure, but I said that in the original post. I’m doing a “small” thing to help Ross.

 Trump won in 2016 by about 70k votes, iirc, and that was one of the tightest elections ever. No election has ever been decided by a single vote in American history. There are thousands of elections every year.

No single vote has ever or will ever matter. You're just LARPing, which you're perfectly entitled to do, but don't confuse it with doing something meaningful.

 If the 70,000 people were people who thought like you then he wouldn’t have won. Every one of those 70k votes mattered.

 The arguments about losing the popular vote while winning the electoral college is also an attack vector I would like to not have to listen to this cycle. The more votes the better this time around to dispell doubts. Stack em up!

 No, 69997 of them could have just stayed home. That's the opposite of mattering.
