Good call OP!
In far too many "democratic countries", voting isn't meant as a way to express one's position but as a way to legitimate the oligarchic system already in place. In today's world, referendums could trivially be held on every important matters using secured cryptographic voting over the Internet, yet we are still signing a blank cheque that gives full power for several years to one among a handful of flavors of the very same elite group. There are also no justifications to the insanely difficult obstacle course one has to undergo to be vetted as an eligible candidate, other than as a process for the current political elite to weed out candidates who threaten to overthrow the status quo.
Don't listen to what the education system and society are hammering as the only valid view. Voting is not a duty. You don't have any duties. You are born free. You can close your eyes and decide everything out there is meaningless. Nobody owns your mind. You don't have to approve something when none of the alternatives you are being given are satisfactory.
If someone asks you which of your relatives should be mugged, would you make a choice? And what if education and society were telling you that it's your duty as a citizen to chose for one of your relatives to be mugged, would you listen to them and accept to make a choice?
You are a free mind, don't let them do that to you. Don't ever vote for something you don't sincerely approve. Nevermind the nay sayers.
