Not care is a part of it. But "they're both the same," "it doesn't matter," "I think ___ crazy thing from the internet" are more common imho.
I work in politics and it drives me nuts the self reinforcing idea that your vote doesn't matter.
Combined with false equivalences and inflexibility to see a larger viewpoint (that no one will get 100% 1:1 policy representation) just lets older people who consistently vote run away with it.
There is also entrenched structural problems as a result of R control, especially state & county level. That is also a part of low turnout.
