Voting may or may not bring about positive change, but not voting is of absolutely no benefit. People aren't going to see people not voting and think, "hey, maybe we aren't doing the right things here," nor "hey, maybe this system isn't working out so well." Not voting is only an invitation for the people in power to continue as they are.
It's not like protests where someone (hopefully someone in a position of power) is inconvenienced in any way, or even where people are made more aware of pertinent issues. Not voting only tells people that fewer people are voting. Not voting is by definition not doing anything, and suggesting that apathy is going to change the system is just absurd.
