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.

Truth always rests with the minority,
and the minority is always stronger than the majority,
because the minority is generally formed by those
who really have an opinion,

assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
- Soren Kierkegaard
