The silence of the masses still gets one of the two elected, nimwit. What message does staying home send?
The message to be sent is to choose a third option, otherwise no message gets sent at all, save that if you choose an odious enough candidate Americans will choose en masse not to play, and you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Not to mention that the real power is in Congress. The message you send by staying home is that if the powers choose a shit candidate and malign the other candidate enough so that they are hated too, they can keep their majority in the legislative body because if you don't show up to vote for President, you can't vote out the shitstains who hamstrung our government for 8 years.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
