>without is sufficiently small (and with a sufficiently large number of ignorable fringe elements) not to have any real effect.
I agree actually.
The current system is broken and there is no way I can personally change it with my limited resources or with my limited single vote. Voting single issue on candidates who support change can result in supporting unseemly candidates not a comprise I'll make. And functionally is the same as not voting, since we are such a small minority.
Therefore what motivation do I have to vote? Other then civic virtue.
