You can also strategically vote. I'm in the US, so for me that means voting in such a way that gridlock is encouraged. It's often much better to have a government that does little than one that does much, even if you happen to agree with it for the moment. There is almost always a candidate that is strategically better in my experience, even if I hate them.
Using the US as an example, that could be Kamala, Trump, or someone else on the ballot depending upon what your desired strategy is.
I agree that Trump is definitely not going to right the ship though. He may sink it slower, but some may want it to sink quicker.
Thinking and participating is better than doing nothing at all. Resistance of any sort is always better than none.
