No. Since, I didn't like both. I didn't bother to vote during the last election day.

No two people are precisely equal in terms of either being good or bad. Care enough about your country to assess both candidates on a number of issues. Assign a point scale for multiple issues, if you must. But evaluate and make a decision for the betterment of our nation.

When you fail to vote for the better candidate, you fail to counter/nullify someone else's vote for the poorer candidate.

And the corollary for "I'll never vote for the lesser of two evils" morons: When you fail to vote for the lesser of two evils, you fail to counter/nullify someone else's vote for the more evil candidate.

There are very few situations where doing nothing is the better option.

Put another way, choosing not to vote is like having two lawnmowers. Whether they're both great, so you say, "It doesn't really matter" or they both suck, so you say, "I'm not going to choose the lesser of two evils," you choose to do nothing and your yard becomes overgrown and you're the apathetic bane of the neighborhood.

By all means, vote! Dictatorships arise from apathy. Don't be apathetic. Don't be a mindless subject to the winds of change. We're a country "of the people, by the people, for the people," but that only applies to people who vote.
