No. It's simply pragmatism. If my vote means nothing, why bother? I can vote for a Democrat, a Republican, a Green, an Independent, or Mickey Mouse, and it wouldn't matter at all. California's electorate will vote Democrat regardless of what I do.

So why inconvenience myself?

If my vote mattered, I'd go vote. Actually, I do vote on things I know I can influence. I vote on propositions and I vote in local elections.
