If you think the nation is already irreparably harmed, then why bother to vote? Just for fun?
If I thought the fat lady already sang her song, I would log off Free Republic and not give voting or politics a second thought. I mean, why bother?
Because it may be that I am wrong.
Because it may be that God may yet work miracles on our behalf.
Because it is one of the little things that I can do.

See the above.
Story time:
There once was a man who, walking along came to an ant laying on his back. The man asked the ant what he was doing, and the ant replied that he'd heard that the sky was falling and the ant intended to catch the sky and hold it up. The man, shocked, asked why the little ant would try such a thing and the ant replied "I do what I can."
IOW, your smallness, or the inevitability of some evil, is no justification to simply do nothing.
