An important thing about not-voting is that no one can know who you didn’t vote for. Did you not vote for trump? Or did you not vote for Biden? Or did you not vote for RFK Jr.? “Not voting” not only does not send a message, it *cannot* send a message; it is a non-act that conveys no information.

If you want to not vote because you can’t bring yourself to vote for any of candidate, ok, that’s you. But, if you’re doing it to “send a message”, then you’re not actually doing that.
