Not voting and making a vote for a person with zero chance of winning are essentially the same thing in America. You're fooling yourself if you think that either party cares about that 'message' outside of how it is perceived to affect the balance between the two relevant parties.
Nor does it matter in the slightest if you abstain. Yes, you get to act (or not, in this case) on your principles. Good for you. This has zero effect on the landscape. Candidates do not require a base minimum of votes to be elected, they just have to have more than the other guy.
