I think that the mindset that voting is the only thing you can do to spark change is really toxic and ignorant, as if you are actually doing anything by voting. Voting is slacktivism at it's best. If anything, people who do vote shouldn't bitch, because they are the ones perpetuating the system of government and allowing it to perpetuate.There are so many other methods of inciting change / revolution, whether it be protest, or creating alternative power structures that do not operate within the confines of Democracy, etc.
