I'd still vote for mitt Romney in that scenario. Do you not get that voting doesn't prevent you from doing anything? You not voting doesn't stop it from effecting your life. The best you can do in that scenario is to pick the not worse option. It doesn't feel gr8 to make this choice. It sucks ass that we have to make it, but you do nothing by not making it. You just allow the depression of the reality of the world get you to throw your hands up in frustration.

Voting doesn't stop you from participating in direct action

It doesn't legitimize the system, that's already done. You and I and all of us can't touch that. It will run off as little votes as it needs to.

I get your frustration. It fucking sucks, but just like you pay your taxes, slave for your boss and make the ruling class money just to stay alive yourself, this is no different. Swallow your pride and try to make someone's life a little better than it'd be otherwise. Because someone's life depends on it. Care about the people who'd be hurt quicker.

Care about the people who would suffer under the worse option. Care that you can in a very small way give human beings a little more time. If I had to go to the booth and vote on 4 years of Holocaust or 6 I'd vote 4. It's cruel to do otherwise in the face of an Impossible decision.
