Yes, And

Voting doesn't take away from other activities, and can help build power.

Voting isn't the only way to make change: organizing, lobbying, protesting, and building power inside parties and outside them can all be effective and important.

Local party organizations are often only sparsely attended. Bringing a few friends to a meeting can have a large impact on how your local party operates.

Crucially, all of those activities can be done every day of the year. Voting is a quick and relatively low-effort way* to add to these efforts, not replace them.

Since voting often takes less than half an hour, and politicians often spend upwards of $30 per vote they receive, your time is being valued at an equivalent of a $125,000 annual salary.

*We mention voting is relatively low-effort, but that is dependent on whether or not your vote is being suppressed. In some places, efforts to suppress the vote have taken away polling places and made voting much harder. If that's the case where you live, fighting the state and local authorities to ensure voting access may be even more important than voting. However, even in this situation voting is still a good use of your time on election day in particular, compared to other things you might be doing.
