a very interesting perspective.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau has a very interesting perspective on the effectiveness of voting. He says that most people vote for the right cause because they feel it is the right thing to do. These people are not actually concerned if their votes would prevail but they do it for the sake of doing the right thing.

Thoreau says that mere voting and leaving the rest to the majority is not an effective vote. Through the lines "Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it.", he implies that voting can never be effective if one is not affected by it directly.

Also by lines like "Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.", Thoreau says that votes can effective when the voters who are voting for a cause are directly affected by it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
