Voting by democratic mean in capitalist countries can mean a lot of difference. Imagine having laws that negatively impact you and people you love because you were too selfish to vote. You would pressured to vote by your friends and family, video games would be vilified in the society you are talking about. I am showing you that video games are not as positive as you may think they are.
I disagree, video games are a very positive thing. In fact, one of the world's most positive things.
Voting on the other hand, makes no difference for the one person
if the government truly sought to oppress you, your one vote would still not make a difference (although a collection might, but as an individual, you have no control over that)
