Politics should be everyone's business.
People who tend to stay away from politics have no idea what they're doing to themselves and their country. It is through politics that every law and policy in the country is passed.
No matter how you are, the outcome of politics affects you.
During elections, some people say they're not interested in any the elections but they don't know that it is through that election that the people who will rule them be selected. Whatever that person does affects everybody in the country. The policies won't only affect people that voted.

Because I don't want to wasting my time.

Everyone will pick the best from the best, right? so whoever the winner, people already pick the best person. Since majority of people already know the best candidate, I don't have to think about it anymore and even there are some policies that make me comfortable, I will find the way to get rid from it, not trust to the president/centralization.

You can't not care at all, if your argument is about a policy that might later be born by an elected political leader but is not your choice and that policy is detrimental to you, you can't change anything other than implementing that policy. because these regulations are binding and coercive, if they are violated they will be subject to sanctions.

I'm also a little pessimistic, even if the political leader who wins is your personal choice, if he makes policies that will harm you too, then that will be difficult to oppose or even change. but there is a bit of fresh air if you are on the winning team, namely your access to policy can be easier but it also depends on when you choose that time whether you have the right relationship or not.

In looking for relationships to achieve good political relationships, you have to be political too, right? So it explains a little that politics in general is important, let alone choosing leaders.
