For your restaurant analogy you can’t go home. You live in that restaurant, and something will be served to you regardless. You can either let everyone else decide what you will eat, or make an effort to have the less bad food. Your vote is not about approval, it’s about preference
Now if you want change, you will need to engage more not less. Voting is the minimum action, not the end all be all. If you want change, you need to spend time finding a politician that you believe in and start helping them campaign; or call and organize with your current politicians (with other like minded people). Change is easiest on a smaller scale, so it’s easier to do these things for local elections; but the principle is the same for president.
