If voting is only a local optimum, I'll accept that we shouldn't reinforce its legitimacy. If.
More broadly, you're on record as opposing any government system that tries to implement the expressed (or implied) desires of the ruled population. There are pros and cons to that position. But it is not really insightful to notice that rejecting "will of the people" as a source of policy goals implies voting is a terrible idea.

And voting adds legitimacy to it.
Thank you.
