If there is no distinction between the candidates, but you were the ultimate decider (i.e. your vote "counts"), the solution is to get new candidates, rather than of not voting. Or, alternatively, if you are the ulimate decider and there are any (even small) differences in the candidates, it is again rational to vote to be able to exploit those differences.

Semantics... a distinction without a difference. If you get none of what you want, and a lot of what you don't, the packaging is immaterial.
If the differences are so de minimus and don't affect you, the use of gas and time expended to get to the polls is irrational.
