I haven't registered to vote, and I really don't feel like I have any incentive to. I don't want to vote.

First of all, the effort. I'll have to fill out this pretty long form. And after that, I'll have to actually wait in a line to vote for a candidate...wasting more of my time.

Second of all, I have issues with registration. I'm a libertarian, IF I did register, I wouldn't want to register as a Democrat or Republican, because I'm a libertarian and suppose I draw from tenets of both. I dislike the two party system, because it divides the country and encourages entrapment of the mind and conforming to schools of thought. That is to say, many people's viewpoints on matters are determined by which party they belong to. The whole two party system perpetuates dogma, and that's not what this country needs any more of. Registering independent is an option, but not for me. You have limited rights as a voter...can't vote in primaries for republican and democrat, which is something you should be able to do.

Third of all, I have issues with how the electoral system works. Candidates only pay attention to swing-states (states that are neither firmly republican or democrat) and it assures that states that are not believed to be competitive will be disregarded during the campaigning process. ALSO, it discourages voters. If you're a democrat in Alabama, you'd might feel like your vote would be worthless, and thus would not vote. Also, we have seen that a candidate can win without winning the popular vote (remember 2000?). If a popular vote were implemented, this issue would be removed, making EVERY vote count.

Fourth of all, I'm not in love with any one candidate (except Colbert, but I don't live in SC, and he doesn't stand a chance anyways ) and I feel like I'm doing a favor to everyone by not just slapping a name down and voting without a purpose.

Fifth of all, call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think there is a lot of corruption and shadyness in this whole area. The recount issue in 2000 makes me feel like it is a certain possibility that money may be being transferred under the table to ensure certain votes be discounted. It feels to me like voting only really exists to give citizens the illusion that we live in a democracy.

I'm interested to see the results of this poll. It seems like a lot of users here are politically charged.

/This is by far the longest post I have ever made on gamespot. I expect to see many "tl;dr" responses, or maybe no responses at all
