It almost sounds like you're advocating not voting. If you have some spare time on the first Tuesday in November, what is the harm in voting?

Yes, I'm advocating for people not to vote, because it legitimizes anything and everything politicians pass as law. I don't want to empower a system that operates under the idea that those in government can do whatever they want as long as they give themselves permission via "law".

So your stance is that lower voter turnouts result in the public perceiving the acts of the government as less legitimate thus reducing their power?

I for one don't vote because I see it as aggression. By voting, I'm asking the state to implement programs or taxes that take from people against their will.
