I might love a part and strongly dislike the other part of a post or comment. Why can’t I both upvote and downvote? Double tap for a conflicted situation? Why am I restricted to the net of my opinions?
I will try to implement this when I have time, lol time.
Could also have strength of a vote. Not just a +/- 1 but could also choose +/- 2, 3 (or more).
Not sure adding complexity to voting will make it better. Or more popular.
I made two accounts for this purpose.
Not voting would do the same.
IMO your best route in that scenario would be to leave a comment.

That sounds like a comment in reply would be a better option.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
And while we’re at it, why is voting only one-dimensional? We should be able to vote a post to the left and right as well, to fully control where it is on the screen.
This post violates rule 5. Locking.
You think that you deserve two votes, when everybody has just one? :-)
Even better. Have floating point +ive and -ive votes. You can put whatever value you want as long as the sum of absolute values of + vote and - vote is <= 1. And >= 0 of course
So, you want a quantum voting system?
Upvote then comment on how you hated it.
I hate this comment

You already can. Not voting will add 0 points to the counter. Exactly as much as adding 1 up and 1 downvote would.
Checkmate, science bitchz
This is true for communities that count upvotes and downvotes as +1 and -1 on a single score, but there are plenty of instances where upvotes and downvotes are totaled as two different scores. Not voting gives no response to the original creator, but double-voting like what OP is suggesting would provide +2 total interactions for users on the latter communities.
