Nonsense.

As a citizen you have obligations — “chores” if you will — towards the community in which you live. Voting is not your right to discard because it’s imperfect, it is your obligation to your society. Failing to vote is a failure in your role as a citizen, in exactly the same way as enjoying the benefits of a household while refusing to do the unpleasant tasks involved in maintaining the household (well, except in your case, you will perform the chores — but only the ones you select, if they are custom tailored to your specifications, performed at a time and place of your choosing, and only if you get an immediate fulfilling gratification from it.)

Unfortunately, positively affecting the world requires an understanding that all solutions are less than ideal, and the best one can hope for is a series of compromises that make things better versus worse. This is the reason people hate “Bernie-bros” is because you are simply the liberal version of same uncompromising, mindless idolatry that elected Trump. This idea that there is only one ideal, it is your ideal, and by God you will accept nothing less — even if it means the world burns around you. Better the world burn, then you sacrifice your vision of “perfect.”

Unfortunately, ~48% of the American population feels the way you do — which directly resulted in the election of Trump.

No amount of “activism” means squat if everyone you talk to also believes impotence is better than even a small drop in the public opinion bucket.

TL;DR
No…I’m sorry…your article, and these responses, only make you sound like (not only) a wholly impotent idealist, but an entitled adolescent who demands the world “makes it worth your while” or you’ll just take your ball and go home.
