This should be an aspirational goal: may we build a society where everyone would be largely unaffected by politics -- where every citizen's fundamental rights would be widely agreed upon (and would encompass access to healthcare, etc). It would be wonderful.

My text messages were full (no exaggeration) of well meaning friends (I don't say that with condescension) saying they didn't feel the need to vote because they didn't have an opinion on some contrived thing X. All I did was send them this https://www.mkgandhi.org/gquots1.htm

He's more or less right though. The situation is such that, given the political options available and the social status quo, even for those outside of the privileged minority (or especially for them) the outcome of an election will change very few things.
