The citizens of the U.S. of America vote because we want to feel like we at least have some semblance of power of what happens to us and our country, regardless of how false that feeling may be. I am quite aware that, regardless of my vote, or even who gets elected, our course is now set. If casting a vote helps people avoid coming to terms with that fact, that is fine by me - people should be free to do what they want, in that regard.
