You are speaking hyperbolically. I voted in the 2016 election. I did not vote for Clinton or Trump. My vote had a very small effect on those who would try to win my vote. If I had not voted at all, that effect would be less. If more people voted their conscience instead of playing a losing game against the entrenched parties, the parties would listen to the voters.
