If somebody tells you voting is pointless, they are voting for somebody you wouldn’t vote for.

Casting a vote is as effective at achieving political objectives as using Purell a couple times a week is at eradicating COVID.

Voting isnt pointless, it’s just not nearly enough.

I don’t really think that’s the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there’s little impact to voting.

That depends on your voting system.

Right, but this is a Canadian community about the recent Canadian election. The voting system is assumed.

In my riding, if you only had the option of liberal or conservative and a 100% turnout we would still have elected the same blue brick for the 4th time.

Usually this just means I get to vote for whatever party I like the platform enough of/like the leader.
