CMV: My vote does not matter because I live in a predominantly Democratic district and a predominately Democratic state.

I firmly believe that my vote will be inconsequential during this year's general election. First, I live in a predominantly democratic district. Where year after year, the district votes Democrat. Second, the state has voted Democrat for the past two general elections. Third, the electoral college decides who becomes president, and each state gets points based on how many representatives they have, not how many people voted for a particular candidate.

In summary, I believe my vote will not count, because I live in a democratic district and a state that voted Democrat in the past two elections. Whether I vote Democrat or Republican, it will not matter, because of the aforementioned reasons.

I am hoping to get some helpful insight that may change my mind. 

Thank you.

I'll start with the old "No individual raindrop is responsible for the flood, but the flood is made up of individual raindrops."  The reason your district/state is Democratic is because people like you vote Democratic.  Your vote matters just as much as everyone else's does, it just so happens that most people already agree with you.  Just because you aren't the deciding vote doesn't mean that your support didn't matter.

Beyond that, there is more than just a POTUS up for election this cycle.  You might have a Senator, and you certianly have House Reps, State offices, County office and City offices on the ballot, with a potential for other ballot initiatives.  These often get overlooked, but probably effect your day to day life more than the POTUS does.  Since so few people care about these, you can have a big impact by really pay attention to those races and making your voice heard.
