You make some good points, but you can believe that voting isn't really going to change much but also practice harm reduction by voting. The two positions aren't mutually exclusive.

I don't believe for a second the ruling class would allow real change to happen through voting, but going into a voting booth once every couple of years is not that difficult and might keep actual fascists out of office.
