Saying it seems to have become a taboo, probably because of the existential horror of it possibly being true.

Is there an alternative?

Say the truth; take the downvotes.

But I would say that the voting that matters most is voting in primaries. Get rid of the ideologues and zealots on both sides; get some people who can think rather than just yell.

Agree. Voting doesn't just mean voting in regular elections for legislators and executives. Vote in every election you are eligible for.
