I actually agree with you - but unless you can provide me with another viable method that normal folk can partake in that might make an improvement then i see no option. Also i'm pretty sure legally that if above a certain percentage turn up and spoil their vote, then the election is actually legally deemed a farce. Ireland comes within about 25% of this in every election, because saps like you sit at home.

"above a certain percentage turn up and spoil their vote, then the election is actually legally deemed a farce."

If you can provide me with a legit source for this then I'll register

a source in dublin city council tells me they've been getting an insane amount of calls from people making sure they're on the register.

voting and protest are fundamental democratic rights, if the majority dont exercise them, they become the preserve of the minority.
if this election serves no other purpose than complete destruction of FF, then its worth getting out to vote.

Well, I'm not a political scientist but I just think it's a con. There are surely more meaningful ways to express your political voice and more meaningful ways to flex your political will. There's not a quick way to achieve some kind of social progression. Why should I vote for another megalomaniac? Fuck that. The ones with any shred of integrity will barter it all and the ones who maintain it get nowhere.. the worst excesses of corruption far overshadow any meaningful gains for average people.
How have at least the last few election cycles not proved this to you?
