The thing I wish they understood: the alternative to participatory democracy is, eventually, revolution. Usually with a period of increasingly brutal tyranny preceding it. When people opt out of the system, it stops responding to them. And even when you don't win, participating causes the politicians to notice you, and step a bit more lightly. I fear guillotines and revolution. It is brutal and damages infrastructure which will cause many thousands of deaths. Voting is your best way to avoid this.
