    I’m completely mystified by how you can look at an example where a 280 vote margin led to an attorney general who refuses to prosecute people in her state over a tyrannical law, and then go: “no, but see - voting doesn’t matter!”

    I mean, there’s ignorance, and then there’s willful stupidity.

      It’s easy.

      Go look at what happened with Idaho. It’s a really, really bad example.

        I’m honestly not sure what you’re getting at with this statement. Idaho has a Republican governor, a Republican Lt. governor, a Republican secretary of state, 2 Republican senators, 100% of the US Representatives for Idaho are Republicans, and 80% of the state senators are Republican.

        Is there something I’m missing here? Can you explain why Idaho is in any way something other than a perfect example of why voting very much matters? As far as I can tell, voters in Idaho seem to overwhelmingly favor Republicans, and so they get Republican policies.
