I know it can be incredibly frustrating. Only 50-ish to 60-ish percent turnout out most elections which is sad (https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_elections). You can also vote with your money. Be conscious about what you spend your money on or just spend less. Vote with your data (restrict access to it). Be anonymous. Delete online accounts or use fake information as much as possible. Don't feed the machine. Vote with your actions. Protest and show support for what you believe in. Vote with your feelings. Don't go for the rage bait and trolls. Block all that shit. Don't let it drag you down. Free your mind. Vote with your morals. Help those in need. Be kind. And above all just survive. You can't make a difference if you are dead.
You can theoretically vote with your money. But you would need billions of dollars to vote. That's the only way you can vote in a way that counts in capitalism.
