Here’s the thing. You can do both (vote and protest or revolt, etc.). Maybe voting won’t do anything but not voting definitely won’t.
A no-vote is a vote of no confidence in the system. I'll continue to vote in every presidential election, and it would be better if non-voters would instead vote for a third party like Green, PSL, or even whatever Cornell West is doing now. But i no longer blame anyone for not voting.

Idk we managed to get a center-left third party into power, something I don’t think will ever happen in the US

I don't get the point. So instead of voting, we should hope for some lovely dictator that takes power and hope everyone in country loves that person? What′s the alternative? Just because change of government doesn't magically fix all the problems does not mean you should not vote.
Go ahead and vote but don't think it solves large-scale problems in America where every legislator is bought and paid for
