Because I am awesome/the threadstarter, I will tell both of you what you think and you will quit with the insults. If EVERYONE voted, every vote would matter; unfortunately, voting is not required, and therefore one vote doesn't matter. I understand that may sound like a paradox, but think about it: if one pot-smoker had the initiative to vote, but all his friends didn't because they weren't required by law, that one pot-smoker's vote didn't matter. Here's the line you all agree upon:
Until everyone must vote, one person's vote doesn't matter.
There are more effective ways to change laws than secret ballot, however, like marching and lobbying.

It is an American's duty as an American (yes Europeans this is about America, and you should in fact be glad about that) to vote and have an opinion on ALL issues otherwise democracy can't work correctly (I guess this is a contradiction because we're a republic, but anyways). Therefore, one should assume that if an American resident claimed to be patriotic, that person would have an opinion on topics like drugs, but assuming things can lead to trouble.
