Is there any reason not to register to vote in the U.S.? I'm

Do you have a particular reason TO register? Do you think your vote will mean anything? If not, why go waste time registering? This election is only mildly interesting because it's been such a shitshow from start to now. I'm 30 and still have no intention of bothering to register.

You should definitely register. I know it seems like the candidates running are terrible, but there ARE good ones out there. I'm voting for Wayne Lambright. He really seems to understand what is wrong with this country and has many solutions at hand to fix them. You should check out his website. lambright.com

It's been drilled in my head by quite a few people that I should. I've been told before that "brave men and women died for your right to vote" which I think is total bullshit but that was from the mom of a kid in the army. But my philosophy professor has brought it up with us in a really good way that I couldn't write down right to give it justice. She said we definitely should because it matters and there's a lot of smaller issues to vote for on the ballot, not just the president. And I guess I do want to vote for those smaller issues.

I've always felt like the president doesn't really matter and the majority of the buzz around it is kind of a fad. I feel like it's the cliche "I'm making a difference" thing to get behind when there are way more issues that matter that most people don't know anything about. In all my life I've literally never noticed a difference between presidents. My day to day has been the exact same. I can drastically change my life by just jerking the wheel a bit on my way to work than who I vote for, so I'll focus more on those things.

But the smaller issues, I feel like matter a bit more. I believe one thing on the ballot is for legalizing marijuana. And I'm not a user, but I do still feel like legalizing that will have a much more noticeable impact than a president.

So yeah. I'm not sure. I've just been leaning towards doing it. But I think the permanency of it bothers me. Having all my information added to a list somewhere. I'm kind of just trying to find something that pushes me back towards not registering anymore. Maybe I've built it up in my mind too much to be someone who doesn't register so I feel like I'm losing a part of my identity. Who knows? Clearly not me.

You don't have to deal with those people with clipboards. You know, those weirdos.

Actually you CAN un-register. Just stop voting and after a time (different in each state) they'll assume you've moved or died and drop you.
