Not voting is a poor way to show dissent since it practically gives your vote to whoever gets the majority.
Better then to vote for yourself, vote blank, vote for whoever you would rather have in charge, or vote for the least bad.

Not voting can be dissent (I disagree with the process, I don't think it's fair etc) or simply apathy. But in either case it gives less legitimacy to whoever is elected. And that's important: if you don't think it's a fair election/process then you don't want to give the legitimacy.
If you get killed on the high ground, you’re still dead.
