You can't vote against somebody in the US. You can only vote for people.
A vote of "no confidence" would be great, though; the idea being that if "no confidence" won, they'd have to re-run the election with all new candidates!
That's the essence of proportional representation, you get to say a quantifiable amount of approval. However, in a two party 'someone -will- win' type system, voting for one party is directly equivalent to voting against the other. Abstaining from voting has absolutely no effect (if 98% of voters abstained, the remaining 2% would still decide the leader)
I voted for an anti-genocide candidate: Jill Stein.
