Well, at this point voting for the lesser evil is voting for the loser on a race to the bottom. I cast protest votes.

He doesn't say he is solving the problem. He merely says that he removes personal responsibility for the problem.

But it doesn't though. It's not like _not voting_ is doing anything to change the system. You're not legally required to vote, so even by just staying home, you're still part of the system. You're still a part of the game, even on the sidelines.

This is why you should actively abstain instead of staying home if you truly don't like any of the candidates.

It's better to cast a protest vote. It is slightly easier to interpret protest votes (and realize "we might have won if") than it is to interpret non-votes.
