According to International IDEA, the United States has almost the lowest voter turnout in the world, ranked a measly 140 out of 163. Perhaps Americans are apathetic, or maybe they’re just concerned their vote is meaningless in the face of America's massive political machine. Can my vote really change the course of politics, or am I just a grain of sand on the massive beach of democracy?

Does My Vote Matter?
It depends on what your expectations are.
If you're talking about the right to vote, yes it matters. Use it or lose it.
If you are talking about making a difference in government. No it doesn't matter under the reigning control in place. No one in government today will honor their oath and uphold and defend the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has ruled the government does not have to answer to the people.
WHEREAS, on February 22, 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States
committed treason to the Constitution by refusing to hear the First Amendment case, We The People v. United States (case No. 07- 681), calling for a judicial declaration -- for the first time in history -- of the Rights of the People and the obligations of the Government under the “accountability clause” of the Constitution – that is, the last ten words of the First Amendment.
The only things they need us for is labor, money and soldiers.
