For protected speech, I'd prefer if people would go in, take a ballot, and submit it blank. Essentially, making a statement that there is no one on the ballot who would represent them. It would be more meaningful than not going to the polling place at all. It sends a more significant message than just staying home.
I do agree that we need to make it easier, not harder, to vote.
Automatic registration, election day holiday, laws forcing employers to facilitate voting by their employees.
"If you are going to protest at least do it exactly the way I think you should."
Well, perhaps you should do it in a way that doesn't appear exactly like you actually can't be bothered to do anything.
Matter of perspective. Its not important that you think their action has no effect, its important that they think their action has effect.
Neither perspective is really wrong or right absolutely. We won't know which is right for so many decades that its useless to declare one perspective entirely baseless.
