If you were to just spontaneously decide “I’m going to vote for the candidate I really think best represents my principles in hope that that has a positive effect on the electoral process,” you have no business being surprised if barely anyone thinks the same thing and the gesture amounts to nothing.
Determining that the gesture amounts to less than the gesture of going in to the poll booth and voting for one of the two party lizards seems rather difficult.
