Why so judgmental? Not voting can be the best thing to do. After all, the participation rate is tracked, in case you didn't know that.

They have nothing to fear from your not voting, it simply means they aren't being affected. Voting for their competition is a different matter. Completely withdrawing from the whole process because of disillusionment does nothing to help solve the problem. Even with the most pessimistic outlook, voting anti-establishment does very little to solve the problem. Very little is better than nothing.
If a substantial portion of the young people who you know damn well aren't going to vote, voted, then Bernie would win this election. It may not mean a lot to you because you don't agree with his platform, but a lot of people think he has a capacity to, at the very least, get the ball rolling on meaningful change.
