In fact, ignoring traffic means you probably will.
Which is my metaphor for the below. People who say, "Oh, it's all just politics, it makes no difference, just going to ignore it, lulz," are simply turning over the process to people who are willing to vote. And the result does make a difference.
Or, as Heinlein put it, "Of course the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you — if you don't play, you can't win." And if you don't play, you'll still lose.

I find politics fits this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginsberg%27s_theorem Pity there is no analogue in politics for the "Zeroth" Law ("You have to play the game.").
The 3rd Law there was pretty much my point. You can sit on the bench, if you want, but "you can't get out of the game." It will continue with or without your active participation, and it will have an impact on you.
