Do you really think "voting" will, for example, bring about real change, like universal healthcare?

Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare, as polls have demonstrated for over THIRTY YEARS. It doesn't matter.

Think of voting as participating in a poll or something, like voting for your favorite "American Idol".

It won't actually change the show, it's just part of the entertainment.
