That’s actually a decent point when taken separately from the notion that voting for the less-malevolent enemy is anything better than just that. Stalling while building a revolution would be legitimate, trying to delude the populace into believing the candidate voted for isn’t just one more enemy isn’t.
The answer to this isn’t apathy, it’s running for office. If you don’t like the status quo, change it. You don’t even need to be serious about it, Vermin Supreme the whole thing. Wear a shoe on your head and run on the this-shit-sucks ticket.
