Subject: RE: What do you say to someone who thinks their vote in a state or federal election actually matters?
Body:

What I mean it is somewhat similar to the tragedy of the commons is that individuals are driven by selfish interests (in this case not voting is easier than voting). Voting is for the common good but if everyone acted out of their own self interest, no one would vote and our society would collapse.

Perhaps more accurately I should have said it is the paradox of voting.
