Well then, you could move to California or Oregon with overwhelming DNC majority, Then your vote would count.
FYI: by not voting you are doing yourself and your government a disservice.
The election isn't just about the President, there are State, County, and City issues also on the ballot (and your vote does count on those issues). Anything from which Judges sit on the bench to what proposed laws/legislation is proposed/enacted, taxes, the list goes on. Plus there are the ballots for Gov, state legislatures, county officials, city officials, etc.
The way I see it, if you DON'T vote, you have essentially surrendered your right to complain about the results. And if you CAN"T vote (because you aren't a citizen), then you need to be a bit more respectful when voicing your opinion, or criticizing our government, this is our country not yours.
