Your metaphor is flawed. Opting out does not save you anything because voting doesn't cost you anything in the first place. If you got a free bet, why wouldn't you take it?
It's more like we're on a sinking ship and bailing water. The ship is going down if we don't patch the hole, but bailing water still buys us time so that we can make more attempts to patch the hole. Except in this metaphor, bailing is something that takes maybe an hour of your time once every two years.
Dems aren't helping the ship stay afloat. They're stopping the people from patching the hole because they're "powerless". Dems and Reps aren't the same because they're equally as bad, they're the same because they're on the same team. They're both shameless fascists.
ok but one of the shameless fascists isn't deporting innocent people to a prison in el salvador or denying women healthcare
They are doing that. They're on the same team. Biden didn't stop any of this. Lol. They're literally the same team, not figuratively, but they are literally working together to push the same agenda.
