There is a notion in the hip-hop and punk communities that since the system is corrupt, if you vote you are taking part in the corruption. You’ll be betrayed by elected politicians anyway, so why bother?
If you don’t vote you can’t complain.
There is one sign above all that makes it evident your vote matters, the effort to suppress your right to vote. You don’t have to look far to see how concerted the attempt is or how it is aimed at African-American, Latino-Americans and the poor.
If your vote wasn’t important they wouldn’t try to stop you from doing it.
