## 😐 I won't make a difference if I move, I'm just one person
This a [paradox of voting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_voting#:~:text=The%20paradox%20of%20voting%2C%20also,normally%20exceed%20the%20expected%20benefits.&text=Moreover%2C%20the%20expected%20benefits%20are,will%20never%20be%20certainly%20pivotal.) and an [apathy towards action](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_apathy#:~:text=In%20political%20science%2C%20voter%20apathy,vote%20where%20voting%20is%20compulsory.). The argument is made when it comes to voting and democracy. If everyone believes it won't make a diferrence and doesn't vote, then the one dictator who wants to take power can walk down to the ballot box and cast that one vote and take control. An extreme hypothetical, but the point is, you might not feel like you make that much of a difference but collectively we make an impact.
