You could do it so that you could at least complain about the selection. IMO, if your custom title is really true, then you have forfeited your right to complain about any of our leaders, ever.

I'm not sure if you heard this yet, but you say "both candidates" as though there were only two. I can think of at least half a dozen candidates who are running for the Presidency this year. Your vote for one of the third party candidates would at least let the major candidates know that there's one more person who's not satisfied with either of the two choices who really stand a chance of winning.

Anyway, I know that perhaps no one can convince you to change your mind about this with regards to major national elections, but I would strongly urge you to at least go vote in your local elections. Your local officials have perhaps more impact on your day-to-day life, and since fewer people vote in local elections, your voice is that much stronger. I've seen where low level elections were decided with mere hundreds of votes cast.

Thinking back to my original comments as well as your statement about feeling that not "any candidate running deserved my vote," reminds me that your choices are even broader than what I mentioned before. You're neglecting the write-in option. There's a group here that's so fed up with our state government they're urging people to vote out ALL the incumbents, and also if you don't like the other candidates to write in the name of their group. They feel this will send a message to our state legislature. Meetings that they've had so far have had to seek larger venues because they've been getting more support than anticipated.

Finally, if you can't think of anyone to write in, PM me and I'll give you my real name, which you can write in. I promise you'll have a major voice in my administration, if elected. Seriously.
