I can give a brief answer that won't hijack too much.

I no longer see the two-party system as real; I see that they are funded & managed by the same king-makers, so whoever wins, "they" win. It's just a divide-and-conquer sham I do wish people would wise up to.

In addition, the voting system has been corrupted, especially with the change to electronic voting. It's now so easy to manipulate. Without protected voting, what say do the people really have?

So, for the moment, I don't vote because it's more active in my view to consciously not participate in a ruse than to not see it for what it is. Those that don't understand this perspective tend to see it as apathy, but I'm far from apathetic. Lack of courage to see what's what is, in my view, far more apathetic.

If Ron Paul had been on the ballot however, I would've dropped my name into the hat...as meaningless as it would have been.

I think we should go back to paper. Or pebbles.
