What can you actually do to avoid a nuclear war, though? I mean, aside from not giving the big red button to a guy who brags about the size of his big red button, there's not much. And I doubt your vote did any more good in that regard than my vote did. (There's probably a sizable fraction of America who actively wants nuclear war because we have more nukes than anyone else. The idea that your loss might not actually be my gain doesn't seem to compute for a lot of people.)
