you are basically arguing for the butterfly effect. i open my car door, does that cause a typhoon in japan?
if i did, how could it ever be proven?
and if things are so deterministic, what is the point of making choices really?
most of us are not that important. my vote for harris did nothing to help or harm the climate or change weather patterns. i won't be here in 50 years, let alone 500, so it climate policy is irrelevant to me.
I vote all the time. just don't have any delusion that my vote is this big huge deal or that I'm 'changing the world'. I also don't care about a lot of issues, and that's fine. I am limited being with limited time and resources and I not everything I do is an explicit endorsement of any politics. Perhaps for you it is, but for me it's not.
Just like maybe you enjoy PB and J sandwiches, and I do not. People are different. Some people don't ever have a PB & J sandwich in their life, and the concept doesn't exist to them.
