We shouldn't get lulled into thinking that voting is enough, either. Democracy isn't transactional - we give politicians our vote and they go fix everything. Democracy is a full-time job for all of us - we have to push, persuade, and organize to get the country we want.
A bunch of people voted in Kansas today and now abortion access is protected in that state. Don't let people who spend too much time on the internet tell you that voting doesn't matter.
