No?
Then don't tell me I am in favor of Trump - because I refuse to vote.
When the Dems boycot the vote, it is seen as a protest. When you don't vote, it is seen as apathy.
Non-voters don't count. The politicians can safely ignore you. They know that nothing they could say or do would make you vote. You simply don't care, so they won't care about you.
Now, if there were a set of protest parties, whose platforms laid out what their supporters needed the main parties to do before they would vote for them, then perhaps your protest vote would mean something. But, you would still probably help elect the "other" party that you hate the most.
