A big question during election year, Why should I vote? This year more than ever, for me. I am able to vote this year, which is the first time I can, but I'm torn. I want to vote but I know my vote won't even count.
Why do I say this? because this year the polls show that it will most likely be Donald Trump versus Hilary Clinton. Why do these people matter? Well I believe Trump will get a majority of public view, but in the electoral college he will not win, republicans will not let him, which means whether I vote for Trump or whatever democrat is selected then the democrat will win.
This is all speculation and isn't at all fact, it's my opinion, and it all hinges on Trump getting the nomination.
This does though bring up a good point, why a majority of people don't vote. This is caused by people like me who know our votes don't count. Those people don't want to vote because they know their votes don't count.
The government needs to get this through their skulls, the fact that the electoral college makes voters upset, this has been happening for a while now and it has made the public have a bad taste in their mouth and a negative connotation of the word government.
These are just my thoughts on the election this year and my thoughts on voting in general. If you have any suggestions you can leave them in the form of a comment below.

Your article was clear and i was able to understand why we should not vote, great points you made of how our votes don't count. Explaining your own point of view of how your able to vote and the system makes you not want to vote. I am able to understand that some of the candidates people are more likely to vote for them because they believe on their lies and not only that they some how brain wash them by helping the economy in the states. Which only the rich candidates can do because they have the power to manipulate people on their own convenience and if people when out to vote for the less unknown candidate the super delegates would take your vote and vote for who has more money and being political bias.
