You're completely failing to see that people refusing to vote are not people who "don't give enough of a fuck". Sure, there are apathetic people out there, but it's a gross simplification to think only people who care vote. Or that people who vote care. For many, that's their one and only participation in participative democracy.
Would you argue that Alan Moore, who wrote Watchmen, V for Vendetta and other cult and politically relevant graphic novels, does not "give enough of a fuck to use his voice"?
Oh, Alan Moore, you mean the guy who recently realized he was playing into apathy causes and nihilism his entire fucking life and is now highly encouraging people to vote against the neocons of the modern age because he realized it’s the only political tool and voice for the proletariat? That guy?
Yeah, he has said as much about himself. Fictive idealized realities with fictive idealized outcomes are not a standard for building a worldview or plan.
