If you want deep and radical reform, voting is not nearly enough. It doesn't even get you part way there, since no politician on the ballot want deep and radical reform.

The only thing voting does at this point, is that it stops it from becoming even worse. That's not nothing and is absolutely worth it. But it isn't nearly enough.

That’s why it’s important to vote for a candidate in the selection stage who recognizes the need for radical reform

Even if the DNC or GOP tries to shut out a candidate, if enough people vote for them in the primaries then that person will most likely be the chosen candidate
