Very few people bother to vote anyway. [View all]

And if it didn't matter at all, the Republicans in my state and others wouldn't be pushing voter oppression and the Koch brothers wouldn't be spending millions to influence elections. I live in North Carolina where the Republican orcs (see Tolkien) are out to destroy every progressive accomplishment that has been made over many years. Repeat this across across the country (see ALEC).

Voting is generally (though SCOTUS and the Republicans have been making it harder) a very simple act. Voting should be the least of what we do. What really counts is what we do every day.

I always vote, and I will vote for the lesser of evils. I make those kind of choices everyday. I don't particularly consider my individual vote so sacred that I don't count the odds, and consider what will be best for the most people, the environment, etc.. The act of voting is so damn simple, it happens a few days a year. I don't quite understand why anyone would think withholding a vote makes any kind of significant statement. As I said, most people already don't vote. What kind of statement is that?
