This reminded me of a skit by George Carlin-
“If I vote for dishonest incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up, then I’m responsible for it. If I, on the other hand, did not vote, then I am not responsible for the mess you created that I have nothing to do with.”
It’s a pretty nihilistic viewpoint, but I do think there’s some validity to the argument that participating in a broken system is counter intuitive in some cases.

There are many excuses for not voting. Carlin was a comic genius..right till the end.
