Yes, that's what I've done for about a decade now, and apparently more and more people do as well (abstention is record high).

The thing is I distrust big corporations almost as much as I distrust big government, but at least, it's easier to move to a different company when one of them really sucks, provided there's a bit of competition.

With governments, there's no such thing, you're stuck with them for 5 years, and their power only keeps growing.

The French gov, like most others, basically only seeks more money and power over society. Whatever the ruling party.

There are many other countries on Earth.

Many of them measurably better than France on very many dimensions.

Go give them your hard earned tax money instead of wasting it on a lost cause.
