And if this happened, the 1/4 who did vote would elect a POTUS

This is what defines the rest of your post. And it is beyond obvious that it doesn't matter who the Puppet POTUS is.

Now...
Voting is important. On a Presidential level it's illusory since the Electoral College is actually what matters. But on other issues, yes, voting matters.
My thoughts are this. If you vote and lose, then you can gripe. If you don't vote at all? Well then you've quit and don't really have a right to complain as you didn't exercise your right to choose.

What defines the rest of my post is my assertation that inaction does nothing. As i said, if three full quarters of the American public were to come together and lobby, change would be guaranteed. But some people would prefer to do nothing, i guess.

Then by all means do everything you can and watch nothing change the course we're on. Nothing.

You mistake my disgust for laziness or delight in portraying it that way.

Kick a politician in the ass.
No, i see your disgust as it is and share it. I simply think inaction is the worst possible course.

You know what? If you don't want to vote, then don't complain when the government does something you don't like cause you had a chance to participate in the process and maybe write in a person you think would make a better person.
Don't try and discourage others from voting because you are to apathetic to try and fix the mess we are all in.
