Why Your Vote Doesn't Matter | Preston Bhat | TEDxMountainViewHighSchool?

Your vote is like a drop of water in a big ocean, it might not seem important on its own, but together, all the drops can make a wave.

Imagine you're picking your favorite ice cream flavor with your friends. If there are 10 people choosing, and only you like chocolate, while everyone else likes vanilla, then your vote doesn’t change the outcome, vanilla still wins. But if there are 100 people, and 50 of them also like chocolate, suddenly your vote helps chocolate win!

That’s how voting works in real life. When there are a lot of people voting, your one vote might not be enough to make a big change. It's like trying to lift a heavy box by yourself, it feels impossible. But if everyone helps, even just a little bit, the box lifts easily.

Even though your vote might seem small, every person who votes makes a difference. If no one voted, nothing would change at all! So even if your drop of water doesn’t make a wave by itself, it still helps others make waves, and that’s pretty cool!
