Therefore, let that party gain control.
Do you listen to yourself?
Things would be so much better if more people voted in 2000. Gore and Bush were five hundred votes apart, in Florida. If Gore won - no war in Iraq, no ISIS, possibly no DHS. Certainly no eight years of fearmongering and bigotry under the "rainbow of doom" terror alerts.
If voting didn't matter - why the fuck would Republicans try so hard to stop it from working?
I am directly addressing the point you chose.
No "hiccup" would have been possible, if more people voted.
