The only way to achieve change is to participate. Going online and crying like a baby about how no candidate represents you is a cop out. Find the person who best represents your needs, wants & hopes, and vote for them.
They don't have to be a democrat or republican.
If neither of those two options appeal to you, there are other options. There are other parties. By voting for one of the others, you help raise that party's profile and may help them to achieve official party status, get them airtime in the official debates, and receive federal funding. This kind of voting help communicate the need for a change in the current system.
It's hell of a lot more effective than wasting your opportunity to contribute by not voting at all.
