“What a lame excuse ...would you then prefer a Dictatorship?...Your silence by not voting IS consent.”
We already have a one party system. And the dictatorship that you speak of would appear to already be here. All that we get to do as citizens is stand in line every few years and voice a preference for which of two kleptocrats we would prefer to hold the whip over our heads. By participating in the farce, we give it both legitimacy and our consent.
Good men fought and died for their families, their friends, and their country. They didn’t fight to preserve a rotten electoral system of bought and paid for politicians.
So who is being “lame” here? The person who participates in a farce knowing full well that it is a farce, or the person who declines to do so?

You stated .....All that we get to do as citizens is stand in line and ‘voice a preference’ for which of two we would prefer...... By participating we give it both legitimacy and our consent.
Well that is what voting is regardless of how you choose to define the choice or party affiliation or none...it still remains a choice.
You can always fill out a ballot and NOT choose either ...which would at the very least show your opposition to the system your opposing.
But not voting at all you’re consenting to whatever direction is taken by the winner.
