Does your vote in 2020 really matter- most likely not
USA 1016 election
Here are the final numbers:
Clinton received 65,844,610 votes, or 48.2% of the total vote.
Trump received 62,979,636 votes, or 46.1% of the total vote. (That's a difference of 2.86 million votes.)

It was the Electoral College that got Trump into the White House, not the U.S. citizens vote.

So folks, it matters not how you vote but if you don’t vote you have so say in the matter.

Of course. The United States secures for its citizens certain rights and privileges, which we all enjoy. But with those rights and privileges come certain obligations, including the obligation to be an informed voter.

Now, it is true that, since the presidency of the United States is always decided by the Electoral College and not a direct popular vote of the whole country, and since our current political alignments make my home state uncompetitive, my own vote for the presidency is therefore unlikely to make much of a difference compared to that of someone living in a battleground state.

But there are other important federal, state, and local contests and initiatives that are always worth voting for each election cycle, and it's easy enough to add your vote for the presidency in presidential election years. So why not?
