As some of the public choice people in this thread could attest to, it's more rationale for you to stay home and not vote as it's more in your own personal interest to do so.
I know that you're only making a statement so this is not to argue with you.

It's apathetic mentality like this that keeps votes from making a real difference. If a higher percentage of the eligible voters actually voted you would see different results.
