The probability that your vote changes the election or future elections is negligible. The primary personal benefit for voting is the personal satisfaction of voting.

If this is true, I would advise not voting and completely ignoring politics, freeing up a lot of your time, removing a lot of stress and negative emotions (in my case), and allowing you to associate with people regardless of their political affiliation. Wouldn't you be happier if you literally didn't know anything about politics - what your president's name is, what their policies are?
