Fear not! There is still voter misinformation and polling place shenanigans or ID and registration tricks to use to disenfranchise voters. If that fails- gerrymandering, creative districting, and like tools still allow the entrenched to make it so that even if you vote- your vote will be counted but will not matter. If all else fails- the electoral college makes sure that if the people happen to choose the “wrong” candidate- the “right” one will still take the office. A perfect and elegant system. By (some of) the people, for (some of) the people. But the very act of registering to vote provides funds for a political party- so at least you can rest assured that even if your vote serves more like an “active daily user count” than a way to have a say- that it at least supports and continues this very system.
