This is lazy nihilism, summed up by the slogan 'don't vote; it just encourages them'. While you are staying at home, congratulating yourself on your perspicacity, the racists are out there knocking on doors and getting elected.
Of course the democratic process is flawed, but what's wrong with engaging with it, in the spirit of optimism? If you genuinely believe that nothing can be changed ever, why are you even bothering to participate in this debate?
