From one point of view, one individual's vote
doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

by a single vote is infinitesimal.

And, at least as much as your vote matters,
your intention for the future of the world matters.
That's so important, it's worth saying again.
At Least As Much As Your Vote Matters,
Your Intention For The Future Of The Entire World Matters.
