I don’t vote. Part of the reason is that I have little confidence in my ability to judge which candidate will be better (because I don’t have traditional left-right views. ) I also have little reason to put effort into determining who is more likely to be better since voting has so little benefit.
I don’t think voting is immoral, though, and I can see that there are some situations where voting is the smart thing to do. For example, if you want to demonstrate your affiliation with a group, or if you just like the act of civic participation.
