Mitt Romney had an overwhelming percentage of the white vote in 2012 against Obama. But Obama still won because a massive amount of minorities went out and voted for him. Say what you will about Obama but I'd rather have him than Romney.
If you can vote there's no reason not to go out and vote (besides laziness)

One more thing I wanna add, a lot of people seem to think that their vote doesn't matter and that the system is rigged or w/e. I don't think so, because look at the effort the Republicans have gone through, and continue to go through to supress Black and Hispanic voters and it becomes obvious your vote matters alot and it scares the fukk out of them.

Read through this to see how much effort goes into suppressing voters, if your vote didnt matter why would they be going through all this effort to prevent you from voting?
An example
"In the Maryland gubernatorial election in 2010, the campaign of Republican candidate Bob Ehrlich hired a consultant who advised that "the first and most desired outcome is voter suppression", in the form of having "African-American voters stay home."[42] To that end, the Republicans placed thousands of Election Day robocalls to Democratic voters, telling them that the Democratic candidate, Martin O'Malley, had won, although in fact the polls were still open for some two more hours.[43] The Republicans' call, worded to seem as if it came from Democrats, told the voters, "Relax. Everything's fine. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight."[42] The calls reached 112,000 voters in majority-African American areas.[43] In 2011, Ehrlich's campaign manager, Paul Schurick, was convicted of fraud and other charges because of the calls"
Dude committed fraud and was convicted just to prevent people from voting. They are willing to do this shyt because they know if everyone went and voted, they'd lose. Go out and vote bruh, it makes a difference
