I've never voted in an election where the ONLY thing on the ballot was the president. If you aren't voting you are missing out on all your local and state level elections which you most certainly can effect change in. I would definitely encourage anyone to at least go to the polls and take a look at the ballot, there are almost always state level amendments and propositions to vote on that can have major effects on your state

That's true, now that I live in Montana I'm much more inclined to vote because we have ballot initiatives and competitive parties. Previously I lived in Illinois where most parts of the state are single-party and there are no ballot initiatives (for the most part).
