No, friend.
Refusing to vote is ALWAYS stupid.
There is no entity that you can "teach" via costly punishment like they are an individual player.
"The Democrats" is not an individual with a memory, it is a loose collection of changing participants and the individual players will focus on their constituency and the groups with highest turnout rates and numbers.
We are in this current cataclysm because people on the left ceded their vote

I echo your point and add the following...
Power WILL be allocated as the result of an election. It is imperative you vote for the least bad option - to avoid the worse option(s).
That is always the case. Voting in a democracy is ALWAYS good - therefore, not voting is always dumb.
The time to fight for better policies/candidates is between elections. That is when you can influence a party.
