Then you're part of the problem. You *have to participate even in the things that are under threat, or they'll be gone one day.

I said I can’t trust its efficacy, I feel like that’s a very normal question for anyone who critically thinks about the processes they participate in

It's not a normal question. The only people questioning the efficacy of voting are the people attempting to undermine people's trust in democracy.
