"一度自分のイデオロギーに従って投票しないと、投票は本当の意味を持たなくなる。"
— Ralph Nader
Simplified Meaning:
If you choose candidates that don't share your beliefs, your vote loses its power. Think of it like this: if you are a vegetarian and you vote for a leader who loves promoting meat products, you're not helping your cause. Your vote should always support what you truly care about. In history, many movements for change, like women's rights or civil rights, succeeded because people voted for leaders who believed in their cause. If they had voted for someone who didn't care about those issues, progress would have been much slower. To make a difference, you need to pick leaders who match your values and ideas. This way, your vote works towards building the world you want to see.
