Sure but your line of reasoning applies to millions of people, and if they all make the same decision as you do, for the same reasoning, then our democracy is worse for it.
It's like a cell going cancerous. Yeah, maybe one individual cell won't make you sick. But if millions do you've got a problem. It's a symptom of a trend that's not good.
Ultimately, you have to be the change you want to see in the world. If I give you a lever you can pull to make the world 0.00000000001% a nicer place or 0.00000000001% a worse place, and you choose to just not pull it at all - it's the same idea here.
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. Ultimately that choice is just leaving donating the voice you had to other people, and letting other people determine your fate for you. It's pretty much the only voice in governance the average person get, and people fought and died for the chance while most people aren't even paying attention.
It's kind of a sad situation really. I'm sorry you feel like you don't matter. But it's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you could have done something but didn't.
Millions of people already make the same decision that I do, or are forced into it for a variety of reasons. The smarter things for Dems to do would be to promote voting, where the Republicans do the exact opposite. They COULD have spent the last 4 years trying to make Election Day a National Holiday, or making it more viable to vote by mail, or any number of other things.
