There's way more unpleasant things than voting the populace is forced to deal with and yet the government still manages to deal with their ire.

Like filing tax returns. Or jury duty. You may as well ask them how they deal with dog shit filled envelopes.

Jury duty, which is so routinely avoided/worked around that it is a joke?

Tax returns, which are only done at the threat of prison? And mostly in the US because other countries have figured out a way to do it directly as long as you have a job?

I have voted in every election that I was elegible to, but this time I have lost every faith in the system and just want to some way to say to say enough is enough, you have lied to be too many times.

But no, you want me to continue the charade that democracy, without the possibility to hold the politicians responsible for their lies is worth anything at all.

I want them all to burn in hell. Where in your system do I vote in farvour of that?

Submit an empty ballot, or write "burn in hell" on it. It won't make a difference to how your vote is counted, but sitting at home and not voting will make just as little of a difference.

As you said, it makes no difference either way.

I don't see how not voting is "keeping politicians accountable". Vote third party (in Australia we have many third parties and independents, though unfortunately because we use instant-runoff preferential voting we still have two very large primary parties).
