Useless because everyone around you genuinely thinks differently from you? Or useless because said 70+ yo retired asset owners with more means to vote without more than the working class?
Big difference in issue. You can't gerrymander a local bill so those kinds of votes are arguably more important than nationals. And you'd be surprised how big a difference a visit with a few dozen of your peers can make to a townhall meeting. That's something we seem to forget until our backs are truly to a wall.
Only if you are too stubborn to register as the dominant party and vote in the primary.

"Voting works, you just need to compromise your beliefs and pretend to be someone that hates everything you believe in to participate!"
Hallmark of a healthy democracy.

Like it's common to forget, or not mention more trivial aspects like land something something, and that a whole lot were literally wealthy men from just one place, merchants (smugglers someone said?), some people owed someone else? nope?, slavery etc? Don't think so :D
And yet there are still so many working class people who try to profess how "voting is useless, it doesn't change anything".
