Bound Together in the Haight sells a "Nobody for President" poster; that
and their Proudhon "To be governed..." t-shirts ought to be reasonably
appealing to individualists.

A demonstration against voting would be a neat thing, but it would probably
produce a rather scary amount of hostile reaction.

I'm thinking of a veteran saying "I fought to defend your right to vote"
or the family of a soldier who died in action saying "Our father died
defending your right to vote, and you're standing here telling everyone
to throw it away!".

... not that's very different from the reaction a lot of leftist protestors
get when they demonstrate over much smaller issues.
