You don't count.

One vote does not count. 
How many time have you heard the phrase, "your one vote counts". This is the biggest bunch of BS ever uttered, drunk or sober.  Your one vote hasn't mattered in years, and won't for years to come.  Could you imagine, "The next president elected by one vote?' How about "Social Security saved by one vote." It won't happen, it can't happen, and it will never happen.  Your one vote has already been bought by the party of choice. See, they don't just buy one vote, they buy a bunch of votes  Yes, they being the political parties, gather in as many votes as possible.  Now it is theirs to do with whatever way they want.  No, you don't have a say, you gave your vote to that party. By voting party line, you have, "sold your soul to the company store". If you didn't vote either party, you just threw away your vote. The last thing that either party wants is for you to not vote party line.  They want to make it nice a neat for you, just pull that one party switch, and they will do all the rest. As far as changing things the way you want them, your vote means nothing.  There use to be two ways a vote can go, Republican or Democrat.  Now that we have become a capitalistic society, the outcome is paid for by your party selling your vote to big business.
