I've always agree with my now deceased grandad that bitching about your leader without participating in the election is comical.

Complaining is useless. Better to vote for the candidate most likely to fuck it all up. Accelerate the state to death.

I think we can count on the candidate most likely to fuck it up winning no matter what. Benefit of being on this side of the mountain.

That's just handwaivng. Unless you dismantle that system non-participation is exactly what they want. The governed without influence.

A democracy without the demos can't pretend to be legitimate.

It's not about pretensions to be legitimate. It's about. Controlling bodies. And that they do have.
-
Power must always be legitimated, whether that be through god, birth, or what have you. Democracy needs the people to believe in government.
-
Power must? Power functions that's it. Democracy (or the illusion of it) is just one way it functions.

So to sum up, non-participation assumes XYZ, but no matter what is believed they end up getting the Trump that they deserve?

Poles are so fucked up and unable to think that we say the reverse thing. If you don't vote you have no right to complain.

Popular opinion but wrong. If you vote you accept the rules of the game. By accepting the rules, you accept their outcomes.

Exactly. Tho my doubt is if this is a valid exit from the game. You are still dependent on the outcome of it.

Withdrawal is the only option.
