Change comes from participating beyond voting too.
Most change that will affect you occurs at the local level. Yet you refuse to even vote (much less run for a local position)?
Gays can marry now (whether you think that's good or bad). Weed is legal in a few places now (whether you think that's good or bad). Food labels don't have to tell you the sugar daily requirements or whether it's made with GMO's (good or bad)
These 3 things alone came about from people participating and voting (or not voting). Not everything is just the 1% ramming it. Some stuff actually changes from voting (or not voting)
