Me personally? I'm not. Not unless I win the lottery soon, that is. The game is rigged, which is why I think participation is a farce, and even though we think voting will matter, statistically, my individual vote couldn't be more worthless.
That's why I think voting in this country is the equivalent to getting kicked in the balls and saying, "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"
