For like 99% of people arguing that 'voting is useless' they are also not working towards any other method of improving society. Either by working towards unions, or effective means of protest or even violent revolution. They're just opting out and doing nothing of value while feeling smug about being 'above' such petty squabbles.

If you are the 1% actually doing something of value that isn't voting. Congrats, I guess? But I think I'm far more likely to convince someone to vote, which is at least somewhat helpful than I am to convince them to join a revolution.

Let’s hope you have the privilege to vote after Nov 5.

I can assure you they do not feel smug, or above the squabbles. They are probably more freaked out than the multitudes that think Trump can’t possibly win, or a Biden victory saves Democracy. It fundamentally sucks to see where America is headed, and be individually powerless to stop it.
