It is worth something...to YOU. In the same way that every action you take affects who you are, how you see yourself (consciously or not) and what you become - it all goes into the package.<br><br>Here is food for thought. It is not so much your vote that counts, but who you are and what influence you have on others. Like you said, you won because you influenced. Now take that influence and spread it around. Imagine this: If you could find hundreds, even thousands of like-minded people within your state, who share many of your ideas and want to work together to do SOMETHING, and have already made a difference. Nobody has all the answers, but many of us are waking up to find that we are in the middle of a civil war of words, propaganda and lies, and are joining together to resist this in whatever ways we can figure out. Some are choosing to do this within a political party, others are just speaking out on campuses, on youTube, at rallies. Nobody has all the answers, but come and share what you think you might have.

I don't like Obama, but for fuck's sake I like him more than you. You didn't impact anyone. You're fucking useless. Quit pretending that going to college is fighting some stupid revolution. Also, militant nihilism is a sure-fire way to make sure that you never have sex with anyone weighing less than 300 lbs, you stupid, stupid neckbeard.
