Even ignoring the other quality replies to this comment, this just seems to me an insane viewpoint.
It's kinda like saying "I'm starving, but I won't eat any of the food on this table because I don't like it".
What?
I can maybe see how this is reasonable if you don't vote but also spend significant time/money investing in trying to bring about candidates who you feel do represent what you want. But, most people with this opinion seem to simply do nothing. That's a pretty childish stance to take, it seems.
As much as you might not like it, the reality is that you only have so many ways to influence things, so you should probably at least put the bare minimum effort in and vote. If you can't be assed to do that, well, I think you forfeit your right to complain about the situation.
