It takes up a surprisingly large amount of time and I got other stuff I need to do

Nah, not really. If this was true political parties of pretty much every country on this world wouldn't spend actual money in bots, trollfarms, media outlets and so forth.
Political and religious discussions happening on social media now, or on TV and radio channels before, do definitely shape the political/religious landscape of a country.

@Fishy I can understand that, but also be aware that apathy is something that anyone who's interested in preserving the current status quo or even worse regressing to a previous status quo (i.e. authoritarianism) wants to push in the general population.
That's how you win an election when your ideas can barely get you a 20-30% of votes. Your country does better than mine to contrast this, e.g. making voting mandatory for every enfranchised citizen as far as I know, but even that is far from bulletproof.
