Such faith in the democratic process, when all the evidence points to a corrupt dysfunctional system.
Occupy Wall Street did a bit more than your minimum of voting. what happened as a result? Nothing.
Obama promised big changes including closing of Guantanamo. Has that happened?
Sistematic protests are fundamental, but hardly all that's necessary.
I saw a guy defending a thesis that makes sense to me: register for a party and become politically active within your own possibilities, e.g. participating in local assemblies, voting for candidates, etc. Change has to come from within.
Obviously, you can't do anything by yourself. You'd need taxpayers to rally up for a massive participation in political parties; that's why it's so hard.
But anyway, I'd be happy to know some alternatives to this.

Voting validates the corrupt system.
