[Captain Kirk]

Groups of single votes will determine elections however. Every vote is a single vote. In 2000, in Florida, the margin of victory was 0.0092%. If enough ‘single votes’ said ‘my single vote doesn’t count’, the world would look a lot different.

An objectivist who believes in the collective will? How many of these votes can you collectively determine. If it is only one, you are hopeless visionary, not very "real world" by pinning your decisions on this sort of argument.

You are free to choose your own slavery but I'm not voting for McObama who have BOTH endorsed a great leap forward for socialism and regulation in the financial crisis.

I collectively determine my own. I also determine the message I send to others. I know that if some on the fence see apathy, they may be inclined to be apathetic. It is the reality of human nature to follow trends. Negativity breeds negativity, apathy breeds apathy.
