You can get involved in protests to try to make them pay attention. You can write letters to your representatives and prospective candidates. You can ask good questions at town halls. You can campaign for good candidates.

Voting is the least important thing you can do. Ultimately you have no choice but to vote for the least worst option but if that's the only thing you ever do, you're helping to bury all of us.
