Last year is the last time I have participated in what I vote consider the slow descent into slavery (again) system. Voting signals consent to whatever happens, and I'm not cool with that anymore. Voting harder for us here. This is not where I want to be or go. Therefore, I will no longer vote.

That's where I'm torn. Participation legitimizes the system that's been constructed to keep us as docile tax slaves. But I hate a lot of the ideas and policy that come out of the left wing of the uniparty.
Yup. That's why I'm done with it, especially on the national level.
Its important to participate, many nation states require it or worse don’t allow it. Spoil your ballot. Tell them the choices are horrible
I disagree. I will not be part of the active polity, especially on the national level. Even if I don't vote, I'm active at a local level. I tend to voice things that others don't and I tend to become a thorn in the side of the local idiots.
And also, you can participate without voting. Voting shouldn't be the one thing you do to "participate" as a citizen.
I thought if you were waffling on voting, it would have been to much to push you to run. I appreciate your lack of care for the national level. In Canada its the one with the most power and ability to change individuals lives IMHO
I am an institutionalist i think its strength can out power the parties will. I preach the vote as a bare minimum that individuals should practice.
If your effective at the local level then you can get your needs met quicker than federally i agree.
I like challenging thought thank you
At this point in the US, it is not possible (IMO) to effect change from within the system, at least not in a time frame that matters to stem the tide of the imminent collapse of the dollar.
I know too little about the Canadian system since I tend to not worry much about what goes on in Canada except that it's a bellwether for the next Marxist BS that's going to be pushed by the WEF proxies like Castro's bastard.
