If you don't vote and I do, then only my vision of how the country should be structured will happen, whether you like it or not. Then, when my politician passes a law you think is unfair and you break that law, you will suffer the consequences.
Believe me, I know all about being cynical about politics and politicians because I have been there myself. Unfortunately, that is the system we have [representative democracy or republic] and that isn't going to change in our lifetime.
If you don't like the country, then vote for the candidate whose views mirror your own.
