You've got options. You can vote swap, you can move, or sure you can bemoan the system, but let's be real:
This is totally in no way what you or the other guy are arguing above. It would even be relevant if we werent such an obvious attempt at an out from the discussion.
The people no voting are not doing it as a fight against the electoral voting system. It's smug ass, holier than thou, if I can't vote for the perfect candidate I'll take my ball and go home and trump (or whatever authoritarian may show up here or in any other country) isnt my fault.
Yeah, sometimes voting a performative ritual. If you show up and tell us how you justify not voting against tyranny when it's got any chance of being the alternative to people getting shot and you still look like an asshat.
