The only thing that voting can effect is status quo or fascists who want to make it so you can’t even vote on that.
Sure, take other actions to enact change. Protest, join activist organizations, start a mutual aid group in your area, convince your coworkers to join a union, etc. Your vote is only good for these two options though, and it takes little effort to use it.
It’s like saying people shouldn’t protest because it’s unlikely to change anything, or people shouldn’t join a union because it won’t destroy capitalism. Everything is part of something bigger, and choosing to just not participate in one part that you don’t like because it makes you feel like you did something (while doing literally nothing) doesn’t help.
What other activities do you participate in? Are you involved in unions or other unionization efforts? Do you organize protests? Do you actually do anything, or just tell people to not take the smallest effort action they can?

There are plenty of voting options that aren’t status quo or fascist. Choose on of them.
Diluting your vote is supporting fascism.
Liberal logic. Participating in Democracy is fascism.
Yeah, but they’re fake options. It doesn’t do anything. Take other actions, but voting you get two choices in our system.
What meaningful action do you take, which doesn’t include voting?
