Le epic redditer moment
Unless you live in non-swing state in which case your vote literally means nothing as you're a minority voter for at least the next 30 years. Even then, the vote of someone in a state with a small population gives more of a share of electoral college votes than a populous state. Plus the whole 2 senators a state thing etc etc.
Your whole position is flawed. You're reversing the responsibility of ensuring people get to vote. Politicians are well paid professionals whose entire job is to ensure that their political plans come to fruition. Blaming some doomer online for the failures of the party is completely missing the point.

What makes those votes unequal?
Grown adult saying this btw. God, I was less cringe in high school.
Seems like some pussy shit to avoid my dastardly trap but ok. I'm 12 and 3/4 btw
Nevermind, that's a normal amount of cringe for your age.
