I accept to believe that you skipped the entire comment to only react to the last sentence

No, I read everything except the links. It's the normal "Democracy isn't real because democracy involves strategic decisions on the part of voters" spiel from people who don't take their civic duty seriously, and instead think of voting as a kind of virtue masturbation for their own gratification instead of being involved in making political choices of the polity, which necessarily involves compromise and deeply imperfect choices.
