Every voter (and non voter) is participating in a political system by choosing to vote (and not vote!). Those who got democracy also got all the responsibility with it.

Those in a democratic system who do not engage in politics are bad citizens.

Which portion of my comments suggests nonparticipation in government by citizens? It suggests exactly the opposite.

Voting is a continuous event. Participating in it requires extensive and continuous discussion among peers who would make up their mind.
