The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Whether or not a vote "counts" is like identifying which straw broke the camels back.
Individually, NONE of them count. Liberals in blue areas will think their vote doesn't count because their candidate would have won without their vote. And those in red areas feel like it doesn't count because they're just getting stuck with whatever conservative is running.
But, millions of votes that don't count, DO COUNT.
Elections are a war of attrition. The first one to ease off a little, loses.
Every vote counts!
It's harder to see how much it counts on a national level, but you should be voting for more than the president.
You also vote for representatives at the state level, for your governor, your judges, your sheriffs, your secretary of state, your attorney general, your school board, your public works employees, and more.
Does your vote matter?
I suppose that depends on how you feel about things. To get a certain person elected, yes of course, I mean it’s not like it’s 100% republicunts all the time, so yes you can vote in democrats. Does that mean anything will change? Harder to say, there is a bit of a swell of support for DSA candidates currently, so maybe. There are of course people who would say that it’s revolution or nothing.
As far as will whatever the turd is going to spout tonight? No, I’d be shocked if I changed anything based on what he says.
