"But I did refuse to vote, cuz that would just be perpetuating a broken system that doesn't give us any good choices."
"Oh... how's the system doing now?"
"Still broken."
"And the choices?"
"Still no good."
"So, it worked?"
"Not really, but I did get to just sit on my ass and post memes."

I mean, you do that whether you vote or not. But when you try to tell people that they have to do more than vote, they don't like it.

“But I voted every 4 years for decades and it only got worse. Eventually I realised doing the same thing was never going to get a different result, especially when my voice was taken for granted”

“Did voting help”

“No, but I got to feel good for myself like I was on the winning team”

As an aside, I like how the intention of the original poster aged like milk. No one sees "The Great War" as great by those who survived it and by the future. It is not talked about positively in the same way as Napoleonic wars or the Second World War (except if you were an Axis soldier or civilian victim of war crimes of course).
