EVERY VOTE COUNTS! (Unless you vote for someone other than the two major candidates, or if we use the electoral college system, which we do).

"Every vote counts!" 
Generally applied to all people. 

"Your vote doesn't count!" 
Applied to those who vote third party. 


Why did I vote third party?
First of all, because I did not agree with the two major party candidates.
Second-of-ly, because I genuinely believe that the best way to progress in our country is to stop the pendulum effect. Each election we call for reform, and some guy stands up and says he'll do the opposite of what the last guy did. People fall for it. The problem is that (clearly!) that doesn't always work. This partisan system is not solving our problems. Liberals aren't evil for wanting to protect the environment, and conservatives aren't evil for wanting to make their own decisions with their money. We need more parties and more compromise to stop the cycle of imbalance.
