The point of propaganda is to demoralize resistance. Are you demoralized? If so, you've let them conquer your mind. Stand up and rebuke the fraud, encourage the truth.

I can answer this. It's a philosophical choice more than a practical one. When the only options (or at least the appearance of choice) are a dogshit soufflé and a dogshit sandwich, some people may not be comfortable with explicitly giving away their consent to be ruled by either flavor of dogshit. That's what voting is-- giving your explicit consent to be ruled by whoever you cast your ballot. Voting for the lesser evil is still consenting to be ruled by evil.
That was my line of thinking for the longest time. Now I look at voting as another possible tool to slow the train as it heads toward the cliff. Voting sure as shit isn't an actual solution for anything- the game is totally & obviously rigged.
Voting may not be the solution, but if there's any possibility that the ballot box helps avoid or delay resort to the cartridge box, then I'm all for it.
The real game is, of course, in each individual consciousness, and there is a benefit to holding even rigged elections with all the ensuing controversy. Almost no one sees it.
That is, whenever discussion of some bad situation involving some politician comes up around normies, the easiest "awakening" points you're ever going score are simply to remark, "Yeah, it really makes you wonder if there's anything to all this rigged election talk, huh? Did anyone really vote for that jerk?"
