Voter turnout has been relatively high in the past few elections. You could argue that the baseline was extremely low, and I agree with you that there is a concerted effort to suppress and discourage voting. But voting is not enough, because our system has been structured and modified to limit our options.
It’s the “preheat oven” step to protecting freedom and democracy from tyrants. Like yes, do that, but don’t expect a soufflé to just spontaneously happen.

Voting is not enough but it is the minimum necessary.

Very apt analogy.
