I don't think that a feasible counterargument is to simply pretend or deny that something is relevant or even non-existent.
Speaking of a functional democracy, going to vote is something real and can determine a path to follow, both economically and socially, that is not an illusion in any sense.
Now I do not defend any politician or any party, the government is always the enemy, but escaping from your responsibilities is not going to make them disappear, at the end of the day they will rule you anyways, so the most responsible thing is to choose your poison.
Only in an established dictatorship votes not count and are an illusion, which I do not think is still the case in the United States of America.
That story that voting is useless and is a waste of time was implemented by governments precisely to make us lose faith and hope in a political and social change. The goal here is to give your opinion and be responsible for what you consider is the best path for your and your family’s future, just as you would not leave your children in the care of a stranger, the same thing happens here.
You should not be a slave to the majority opinion and surrender to that.
