"It adds credibility to the government, at least in our minds, and that’s all that matters."

Scott Adams' Blog: "I stay unaligned. It reduces my confirmation bias. But I’m a freak. Don’t be like me. You should vote. Why? Voting makes citizens feel like part of the system. It adds credibility to the government, at least in our minds, and that’s all that matters. So you should definitely vote. It feels especially good if you maintain your illusion that you understand complex socio-economic issues well enough to have an informed opinion.  Also, remember how much you hate the candidate for president that is not on your side. You need to vote against that person. You hate that person. So vote. It’ll feel good, and it will reduce the likelihood that the United States will devolve into a warlord situation."
