I'll never vote again

I plan on not voting again and letting my voter registration expire.
I'll no longer be cajoled or pleaded into voting for candidate A or B because he or she is promising to do X or appoint Y.
And this isn't simply some disillusionment over Trump, because I didn't expect him to follow through with many of his promises, but more a complete apathy towards both political parties and the system as a whole.
And I don't want to hear about doing my civic duty or about how many people died to give me the freedom to vote. Yes many died in the cause of freedom, and freedom allows me choice not to vote.
The system is broken and my vote isn't going the fix it. And for those saying vote third party, I've done that in the past as well, but that's simply pissing in the wind.
Lastly, as the older more conservative generation dies out and is replaced by a less conservative one, the voting process will become increasingly futile.
My plan is to try and live as best a Christian life as I can, take care of my family as much as is in my power, and pray for God to have his will done in my life.
That's all.

Third party voting is actually pissing DOWN wind. FYI.

I may vote again. I will send proposals to each candidate with an offer to vote for them depending on monetary compensation they want to send me. Why should the voters be the only ones getting screwed over?

Made this same decision after the 2012 election.
Since recent history has demonstrated that all of major party candidates will continue to act against the best interests of me and my fellow citizens, I see no point in continuing to put them in the position to do so.

What other conclusion could a rational person draw?

Why is this tread anchored?!

So if you're not registered to vote...can you still be called for jury duty?
I kinda see that as a benefit.

Real conservatives have a duty to not vote. These cucks always sell out. None of them deserve a vote.

Maybe there are those who should be subjects rather than citizens, and maybe you are just one of them ? Especially if you have lost all hope and believe political participation is futile?
I'll miss you bro. Please refrain from commenting on political issues henceforth. I appreciate you letting us know you are out. See you on the OT.

It's too early to give up.
Wait until Trump's first budget in the Fall. Observe the GOP actions at that time.
Remember that both the GOP and the Dems want Trump to fail because they want to Oust the Orange Outsider ASAP in order to get back to UniParty status quo.
Trump is an infection on the UniParty Body Politic and this Body is working hard to eject him out of the Body and into Hell.

I've never really been a fan of the political process, but I enjoy it for its entertainment value. Plus, I mostly posted here about social issues and not political ones.
