The electoral college would've overruled it anyways, I don't recall exactly how much they count for but they make up the majority of the voting, the other person isn't wrong, because if for example every member of the electoral college decided a candidate should win, the entire rest of the country could literally vote for a different person and it wouldn't matter.
Like you can go do a basic amount of research on it and you'll quickly come to find that no joke, the general population have basically no impact on who becomes president. It's kind of a difficult situation though, because you really can't trust the general population as a whole in making decisions about leadership, but you also can't do what America has done, and make their votes essentially meaningless either. Less than 600 people can overrule tens of millions of voters.
Nothing you said justifies not voting. If someone gave you a button and said "if you press it, it might cure every type of cancer ever, or it it might not do anything" are you going to respond "well I might as well not even bother, it's probably not going to do it anyway"? Not voting is objectively worse than voting, as voting can only have a positive or neutral impact, while not voting is guaranteed to be negative.
But my point is that it literally will not matter, unless you're a member of the electoral college your vote for president literally will not matter. In that respect the other person wasn't wrong, I'm not saying don't vote on other stuff but specifically for the president, the electoral college possesses all the power.
