I don't vote, as I believe this to be the best way to register my disillusionment with the political parties in this country, who no longer stand for anything other than being elected.

And by not participating, you do sort of forfeit the right to complain about the outcome. After all, YOU certainly didn't do anything about it.

Me, realistically, I don't see my vote as having any real effect on the outcome. I *CAN*, however, indicate my dissatisfaction with both major parties by voting for neither of them. Then I spend the rest of the next 4 years complaining about it. Then I do it again. It's a living. If enough people were to take a stand and vote for their own dignity and personal integrity, something might happen. In the meantime, I'll just sit here and await the revolution.
