Most of the reason why we've elected the wrong leaders is precisely because such an unacceptably large preponderance of the population apathetically refuse to exercise their right to vote.
The deck is stacked against us, that's true. The choices usually come down to a lesser of two evils, yes. But, the fact remains that unless you vote, the elite have no reason to fear your power as an electorate.
Not to deter anyone determined to vote at all, but the last election saw the move to electronic voting machines; these devices can be hacked.
