This is about the worst example I have ever seen!!! Come on Joe,
you got to be smarter than you let on. "One vote amongst millions
won't make any practical difference" - in an election? Holy ***!
That is the whole freaking point. One vote amongst millions IS the
only thing in elections that matters!!! Because when you put all
those one votes together someone wins! You know, Democracy!

On the other hand, YOUR opinion on whether the GPL is valid or not
makes absolutely NO difference. YOU don't have a vote. YOU don't
have any "say-so" what so ever. The judge will decide.

You have it backwards.

In the courts - only one vote counts! The judge's vote!

In an election - every vote counts... and every vote matters.
