ALWAYS write a name in. ALWAYS vote. Someone real even if yourself. A good reason is to throw off the size of his win.
Example; Class president running unopposed with a student body of 100. 30 students are slackers and dopers who don't vote. Throw in 10 clueless idiots who don't vote either. That leaves 60 students to pick the Student President. 20 of them think he's a blowhard and a racist asshole while 40 favor him or will vote for him simply because his is the only name on the ballot.
If only the 40 vote, then he wins by 100% of the votes.
If the 20 vote and each write in their own names, then he only wins by 66.6% against 33.3% opposed. 40 votes to 20 votes opposed. He can't use the "100% are for me" bullshit. It weakens his agenda for students to send a message "a third of us are against you fucking assholes". It also incentivises the student body to push for something better.
Seeing Mr. Nice Guy win by 100% turns people away from opposing him. "We can never beat him" they say.
Seeing him scrape by with only 66.6% proves he's weak and vulnerable even though there is no viable candidate opposing him. The more people who vote against him, the less of a "mandate from the people" he has. Other members of the student council are more likely to speak up and oppose him knowing that a large portion of the student body are doing the same.
In the next election, even if the class spaz ran on the Spaz ticket and picked up 10 votes then the results would skew the numbers against Mr. Invulnerable. It weakens the dominant party to have people voting against them. Non-voters don't count because they don't exist as voters. Non-voters silence themselves.
It's very important for all Americans to inform themselves as best they can and vote. It's not just for some elected official, there's usually other seats and bills on the ballot too. VOTE!
VOTE for yourself if you don't like anyone on the ballot but VOTE.

You don't want people to vote for America. You want people to vote for The Oligarchy, and the racist bigots that they are.
