Definitely a poor opinion then.

My concern isn’t for my own vote. It’s for everyone; there’s a pervading notion that voting is either irrelevant, useless, or a balancing act to find the least-worst option.

I don’t recognise the “listless wandering” you describe. It’s poetic but doesn’t reflect what’s actually going on here: people aren’t looking for entertainment; they are worried how they’re going to pay the bills. It would frankly be a relative utopia to have the privilege to not care about politics and what it’s doing to people.
