I vote so I can complain about the guy who gets elected.

If you don't vote... well you don't have any right to complain because you haven't even attempt the smallest thing that could be done for change.

I still have every right to complain and will continue to do so. No matter who you vote for,it's still going to be politicans lying to your face and doing whatever they can to serve,there own self-interest. Not voting is my protest.

That's like saying my protest to the slaughter in Sudan is to play team fortress 2.

It's not your protest, you just don't want to vote for anybody running, so the easiest way to do that is not voting.  You are costing yourself nothing by doing it, making it a fairly meaningless "protest" since even if it wasn't a protest you wouldn't be doing it.

If you REALLY wanted to protest, you WOULD vote and write in None of the Above, or some fictional character or someone you just wish would run.

Write in someone you do think is honest, or yourself or hell None of the above.
