My mother (long since dead) wrote letters to just about every media outlet on just about every political/governmental issue imaginable. She wrote representatives too. She bitched and complained in those letters, as well as to anyone who would listen. She'd furiously puff on her Lucky Strike while yelling at the TV news.
But you know what she didn't do? Vote.
Infuriating.
You can hate the system, but (outside of a coup) you will never change it by not voting.
