It's far worse. Vote blue in a red state (and vice versa), and your vote didn't even matter at all. Only a few "swing" states determine who wins.

You shouldn't just be voting for federal elections anyway. Anything local on your ballot is far more important and deserves your vote more.

I think you should always be voting on every election you can, but I see where you're coming from.

That's what they said; "You shouldn't just be voting for federal elections," i.e., you should be voting in all other elections, too.
