Yep, back to not voting ever again in my life. I should have stayed true to myself this year, but stupid people who think voting matters peer pressured me into voting.
I'd understand this attitude in Mississippi. But Florida??? The races were neck and neck. The answer is more democratic voters, not less. Please don't abandon your civic duty because you didn't get the result you wanted. Florida is a must vote state given how easy it is to flip if democrats come out and vote.
Rick Scott won by less than 35,000 votes in a state where over 8 million votes were cast. Thst race is winnable by either party. Believe me, there are more than 35,000 democratic voters who didn't vote in Florida yesterday. Turnout is what is important, you turned out this time, please turn out again in 2 years. More people vote in general elections than mid terms, so you are more likely to get a result you want.
However you may never get the result you want if you don't get off your ass and vote. Elections don't always go the way you want but the solution is to go and convince more people to vote with you, not abandon democracy in possibly the most swingable state in the US.
