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.
