I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

Never said it wasn't a form of protest. I said it's not effective and I'd like to add that it's also very dumb. Like setting yourself on fire in a first world country.
