I have no faith in the voting system, and I vote anyway. It’s not like you can boycott voting - if both parties truly are in on it, then it’s not like they’re going to change anything just because turnout is low. If the solution lies elsewhere, which I believe it does, then whether or not you’re voting will have no effect on anything. Don’t be so sure you’re right that you throw away what could be a useful tool if you’re wrong.
Hedge your bets and take an hour or two out of your day every year to at the very least try to nudge things away from the worst possible outcome. It’s not like we’re anywhere near actually coming together and enacting our second amendment rights to force real change anytime soon anyway. Apathy got us into this mess - don’t think even more apathy will help; action will be what gets us out, if anything.
