A Silly Argument

Those who support electoral politics in any form, even anarchist libertarians who support political action as a method of scaling back the government and working toward the ultimate end goal of anarchism, often make a silly argument: if everyone thought his vote didn't matter, there would be no way to affect change. We'd be governed by the whims of a few. On the contrary, if everyone realized his vote didn't matter, we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. We're already governed by the whims of a few. Beside that, what's the difference between the whims of a few and the whims of the many? None that I can see.
