Voting doesn’t matter without ID and easy to do record keeping an auditing.  That will never happen.  The GOP will move left in an attempt to get votes, and will lose way more than they gain.  Marxism will control the United States for the foreseeable future.

I still cannot understand why people can't grasp this simple fact. This election is not about Trump. It showed that the election system was distorted by the Dems on a level never seen before in this country.  There will never be another patriotic American elected to high office. Never. The powerful may allow some from the GOP to continue to be there to keep up the facade of a two party system, but only those who are approved members of the club.

Don't let them win by demoralizing our side into not even voting.  I get it, I really do.  But never give up, hell vote as a sign of protest.  Don't just lay down and die.

Primary out every republican that has served more than 1 term, and some newbies too.  That's the movement that needs to happen.

Yes and that kind already had been happening.  Trump was a speed bump.  Notice how fast the GOP turned at the end.  It wasn’t so bad because Dems and Rep were more middle of the road, so the unioarty wasn’t passing radical shit.  If you looked at the Dem platform under Clinton, and even in the years lost to Bush’s it would read like Many of today’s Reps.  

Freedom of speech is gone.  The US can’t exist without it.

Personally I'm done voting. Not only have they rigged the Presidential, Congressional and State elections but they're going to give amnesty to over 11M illegals. Our votes simply don't count any more. Even if you had a good non-demarcate candidate to run the algorithm will just wipe them out in the wee hours of the morning. I'm not wasting my time voting any more.

Trump will be the kingmaker as far as actual votes that are placed, but you are correct that it doesn't matter if the machine is fixed.  

Oddly, I expect the left to feign being "moderate" in the immediate future.  They really want things to go back to the good ole days when they could all pretend to be adversaries while maintaining their power and wealth.

I'll continue voting for the candidates and decisions I most align with, it's been the lesser of two evils for a long time for me already.  Trump is a liberal, after all.

I get all the arguments and rationalizations against it, but I'd rather take 20 minutes out of my day and try, than give up.  Even if you think your president or midterm votes don't count, there's still going to be your local bills on the ballot.  I can't just give up over 20 minutes of my day.

The GOP IS A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM. We've all been supporting the GOP for so long because "they're not as bad as the Left" and they have been screwing us over the whole time. Remember Paul Ryan and Obamacare? Remember McCain, Romney and Graham? Did you notice how 90% of the GOP refused to investigate the election fraud and turned on Trump instead of protecting the US and the Constitution? McConnell and Pence personally insured that Biden/Harris is our president because they are loyal to the System, not us.

A vote for the GOP is a vote for the Swamp and a totalitarian government. They may talk about protecting the US but 90% of them are just playing a game to line their own pockets.

If nothing is done to remove all of the corruption in our government we will never see a legitimate election again.

As long as the kink in the vote tallying is a feature, the Republicans will not win elections.  That kink will go away when 11,000,000 illegal aliens become new voters.  So unless voter integrity is fixed before the illegal alien citizenship surge, voting at the national level in the US is about as meaningful as voting in Venezuela.

That is the negative view of things, which is typical on this site.  The positive form of the statement is "Vote for the person who represents you the most".

Doing nothing lets the greater evil have an easier win.  How is that helpful?  There is no new revolution and there is no civil war.  Despite the loud mouths on the Qtards in the election thread saying millions of Americans were going to step up to make sure Biden wasn't sworn in...nothing has happened and the Qtards have faded back into the shadows.  

The reality of the situation is politicians will decide how you get to exist and they are still going to be elected by voting.  The best approach is to find people to run in the primaries, support them, and help them win.  That is the time to vote your conscience and make big changes.  After that, it is voting for the person that represents you the most.

Back in 2008 many here said they were done and were going to do everything they could to "burn it (the country) down quicker", yet here we are and the country still exists after surviving Obama.

In the past, it was Dem vs. Rep and people commonly preached that we needed to prop the Rep up because...while they might not have been pro-constitution (specifically with the 2nd), at least they weren't the Dem who was in clear opposition to more than just the 2nd.  But now we've been shown as clear as I can tell, that the swamp is the swamp and BOTH are evil.  

In 2-4 or 8 years....do we go back to blindly voting for whatever Republican (if it is still legal and an option to do so) or do we vote "none of the above"/stay home?  

Personally, after seeing the integrity of the electoral process so badly compromised, it'd take a LOT to convince me to vote again.  Not trying to start a movement or have anyone join me....just how I feel.
