I'm glad that you participate. Voting is the easiest and most direct method of change.

And yeah, it can be defeated by voting (every 2 years, for primaries too) if you have enough people to join. It's unfortunate that there are enough cynics who don't participate who could make real change if they did.

Every time Trump's judges make another radical ruling, I'm reminded that people stayed home. And now pregnant women aren't safe in red states, just as one example.
