"I live in a red state my vote doesn't ma-"
If your vote didn't matter they wouldn't try so hard to make it harder to vote in red states. Voting in red states can turn them into swing states like Georgia, Ohio, and Arizona. And voting in blue states can keep them from becoming swing states.
California used to be Red. Texas was Blue long ago. Florida was once a swing state. Obama took Indiana but it's gone redder since. Ten years ago Arizona and Georgia going blue was unthinkable.
Things change and we can make them change.
And that's before getting into more local elections. Turning cities blue, the state legislature.
Red states have flipped blue in recent years at those levels too.
Because people vote, and if we vote in high enough numbers we can turn a tight election into a walk in the park. If we vote in high enough numbers, we can turn a loss into a win. So many good things have happened in states where someone won by like 100 votes. (arizona is one)
You know why we lose elections? Because old people vote and young people don't. If millennials and zoomers would just Pokémon Go to the polls, this would be so easy.
Also, let's say you're right. Let's say that there is absolutely no chance in a million years that your state, as a whole, will go blue. You might still be able to flip your congressional district blue, or your state representative. You might be able to prevent a Moms for Liberty candidate from getting elected to the school board, or a white supremacist sheriff. You could see that the moderate conservative gets elected to city council instead of the far-right whackjob. And those positions actually have a lot more to do with your daily life than the President. It matters. It all matters.
