I can at best attempt to vote out a few individuals tied to my state and then the president. The other 90%+ in control of this country? Completely powerless to influence. Statistically, I cannot do anything.
That's because you're not supposed to. No one person should have the ability to decide these things, it should be a collective effort. Telling people that voting is useless is the best way to go about protecting the interests of the status quo.
