Eli5 voting in USA: WHY

In a fun note: was unable to post this to politics or eli5... interesting...

What is the point of voting for an American president when:

A candidate can gain a platform on what they say but are not held accountable for following through with that once in office; we are stuck with them for at least 4 years regardless.

The electoral college decides the vote and they are not legally obligated or even an actual representation of the popular vote

The population of prisoners/felons are counted as part of the population the electoral college represents so they get a bigger percentage but that percentage can’t actually vote as their voting rights have been taken away

Why people under 18 can’t vote but people over retirement age can (in the vein of a drunk driver has the same reflexes as a 70yr old yet the 70yr old can still drive, but a person can’t drive drunk)

You can’t pick the people who are up for vote because it is decided by the party without you.

In rebuttal to that; supposedly you CAN pick them but in order to have a say in the presidential electees you: have to dedicate your every waking moment to following local and national politics, vote at each and every minor stage and place in your locality, and work a full time job and take care of your family and feed them and do dishes and clean and sleep. AND AFTER ALL THAT your vote doesn’t get counted properly because of the electoral colleges

Lobbyists exist for everything and they can pay for a political time/vote

Poisoned riders exist

Gerrymandering exists

A president can get impeached (aka soft fired) but still maintain their job/position and remain in power

So... what’s the eff am I/ we voting for and why are we doing again? A false sense of security? Prom queen? a fruitless idea born on a sense of good faith? WHAT IS IT!???
