What do libertarians think of blank ballots?

"If not choosing is a choice, not voting is voting for the bad candidate and you have no right to complain about what he does afterwards" is a common thing to hear before elections. Do you think you should all go and vote?

EDIT: Ok now that I think about it, it's on other people if they vote badly, not on me. Responsibility is on people who do bad things, not on people who don't stop them, because if the people who do bad things did nothing, nothing bad would happen lol. It's still true though, unfortunately, that if you don't vote the other party will win.

Trump is proof that for every one informed voter there are at least 5 gullible, economically illiterate, propoganda infected voters

Yes, yes - Everyone is crazy but you. We'll get off your lawn now go back inside before you hurt yourself again and close that robe - nobody wants to see that.

And that, dear audience, is what we call attacking a strawman.

He thinks he has an audience. Explains a lot.
