Some people live with the illusion that our votes really count.

They dont, so get over it. If you need any shred of evidence to prove it, take a look at the primaries 2016.

Then there is the matter of some emails.

Please dont even try the argument that the general election is different from the primaries. Please see election 2004 when the supreme court decided the outcome.

Voting is a game in which we either participate or not.

I have chosen to relinquish that illusion so am free to vote my own conscience.

So just shut the hell up about how or why someone else votes. Best to focus on your own space in the booth.
