While Leather Apron Club enumerated a few decent points, I don't think he touched on the most pertinent reasons for not voting. Here is why I'm not voting this election, even though I've voted right wing my entire life (with one caveat, I still advocate for voting in local elections):

(1)

Both political parties are corrupt and controlled by the same people.

The people in power know that the best way to control a populace is to give them the illusion of choice and resistance, a false choice dichotomy, where no matter what choice we pick, we lose, and the people in power win, where politics is curated into a gilded cage, an overton window where debate is vicious, but completely controlled.

This has become ridiculously obvious the last several years, that the mainstream political right is nothing more than a false choice trap, a "boil alive slower" choice, a "move left just a bit slower" choice, a "we'll genocide White people, but 'legally'" choice. The mainstream right has compromised, given ground, and acquiesced to every single issue for the last several decades. Every time the mainstream right is in power, they may push back on one or two issues, but in totality, they still progress the globalist agenda and Kalergi plan.

In general, once enough people realize the charade, and exfiltrate themselves from the corrupt and controlled system, parties, and leaders, they look for and form their own dissident groups, to try to advance effectual solutions. The left tried to do this with Occupy Wallstreet. The right tried to do this with the Tea Party and MAGA movements. They've all been infiltrated and corrupted. The people in power infiltrate and corrupt these groups, slowly bringing them back into the fold of the controlled system, the overton window, completely neutering the group from being effectually resistant to the system.

The other way the people in power control us, is by giving us false saviors/leaders. These false saviors can be bred and trained, completely artificial, wolves in sheep clothing, or they can be genuine, but are weak and stupid, incapable of actually fixing our problems because their policies and ideas are decades too late, or don't take into consideration everything that's happening, often shilling several false philosophies and ideas of the corrupt system (like feminism, egalitarianism, race blindness, etc.). At first, these leaders say the right things, to condense the dissident right under their banner, but over time, their intensity, ideas, and policies become less severe, moving the dissidents under their banner back under the control of the system. With genuine, but weak, leaders, the people in power artificially prop them up, and censor and quash any effectual alternative leaders, so the people overwhelmingly are more likely to only see the false leader(s) offered to us, making the dissident populace mostly congregate around the false leader(s), rather than the effectual ones. Whether Trump is truly artificial, or a genuine but weak leader, is unknown. There's evidence to point either way. What's clear, though, is he doesn't go far enough, and at most, is merely a delaying tactic for what actually needs to happen, making people slightly less uncomfortable for a few years, which is the worst possible thing we could do right now (detailed more below).

It should be obvious that politics is nothing more than theater, like watching pro wrestling or pro sports, which is entirely scripted. People cast their vote for red team or blue team, even though they both work for the the people in power, and dupe us into thinking they work for our interests, when in fact they're actively harming us, and keeping us from from realizing the truth.

I should also remark, since many here will probably retort: "but they tried to kill Trump". Most likely, yes, even though there's some evidence to suggest those attempts were staged (like no wound to Trump's ear). But, even if these attempted assassinations were genuine, it must be understood that the people in power aren't completely monolithic. They have disparate goals, interests, and pathways, which often cause friction within their group. These disparate groups often war with each other, but regardless of who wins, we lose. Given that the people in power hold every anti-virtue possible, it's only natural that they remain a fractured group with constant in fighting. So, Trump could easily be a false choice leader propped up by one group, but a different group is actively trying to stop him.

People only wake up and fix problems when they're uncomfortable.

Comfort is the enemy of action. Comfortable people are made apathetic, pacifistic, and inactive in the face of lies, tyranny, and evil. This is one of the reasons why Western civilization has been able to be so corrupted and degenerate. We have all manner of comforts, technologies, bread and circuses, dopamine sinks, barriers to nature (keeping nature from reprising against stupidity and weakness), relative abundance, wealth, and safety. This comfort has pacified and weakened the public, enabling extremely malicious people to infiltrate and corrupt every institution against us. If our ancestors were alive right now, they would've revolted and killed everyone responsible decades ago, if not longer.

The only reason so many people have woken up to the truth and rejected the lies the last several years is because they were made uncomfortable. The people in power, in their hubris, pushed too far too fast. They turned up the temperature of the boiling pot we're all sitting in, and lots of people realized "hey, we're being boiled alive" and jumped out. Under the weight of all the lies, our lives have been made a living hell, and the lies no longer make sense. People were forced, due to discomfort, to reject the lies, reevaluate, and seek alternative ideas, information, arguments, and explanations for why things are the way they are. Comfortable people don't change their minds. Why would they?

The false choice right, and the false leaders we're being offered, at best, will merely make people slightly less uncomfortable for a few years, while keeping the Kalergi plan in full swing and advancing the globalist agenda, while only pushing back on a few small things. The mainstream right is a "boil slower, but still boil alive" alternative. Making people less uncomfortable now, is the worst thing we could do to ourselves. It could conceivably stop the red pill movement for a few years while they're in charge, neutering our movement, giving credence to the false philosophies, ideas, and agendas offered to us by the false choice right.

We deserve to feel pain for our inaction.

Government only exists upon the will of the governed. It's our natural right to govern ourselves. We only abdicate our natural rights, and give them to government to do things in our stead, in the hopes that they apply things more fairly (like justice), that they protect our natural rights, and act in our own interests. Western governments aren't doing this. They've become extremely and blatantly antagonistic to us, and are actively seeking to exterminate us, while also weakening, brainwashing, lying, gaslighting, poisoning, manipulating, dividing, shaming, degrading, and making us poor. They're actively destroying everything and everyone we love. They're making the entire world ugly and evil. They're lying to us about literally everything, from medicine, to healthcare, to "science", to biology, sex, the roles of men and women, philosophy, entertainment, and history.

If you can't fix a corrupted system through that system, then it's your (our) job to fix it ourselves. It's no one else's responsibility to fix our problems. It's ours, and ours alone. Casting a vote for a false leader is a continuation of the false solution people have been seeking for decades, thinking that one person, or a few people, in the right position, can fix all of our problems. Given how systemic, evil, and corrupt all of our institutions are, it's incredibly naive to think one person, or even a handful of people, can fix all of this.

This mindset is also inherently lazy and apathetic, all the hallmarks of people trying to cling to the last vestiges of their comforts, because they know that fixing these problems ourselves will be painful, even though it's necessary, and has been for a long time. Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest. This is true for everything, including people. People are loath to get up off their ass and actually fix things themselves, especially when they're comfortable. Better to just call someone to do things for us.

We've been attempting that solution for decades. Where has it gotten us? The world has only gotten worse and worse. If you attempt the same failed solution over and over, you're a moron and deserve to fail. If you continue to make the same mistake, you deserve to feel pain for that mistake. Abdication of our responsibilities is what's led us here. Expecting other people to save us is what's led us here. You can't fix a problem by acting in the same way which caused the problem in the first place. The longer we let a problem fester, the worse the solution becomes. We're now at a stage where the problems are so bad, so systemic, that we only have one option left.

But, we have the right, and we've always had the right, to reclaim our natural rights and responsibilities. We can, at any moment and whim, tell the government to fuck off, and [rule 2] the people harming us. The U.S. was founded on this principle. If we're unwilling to do that now, even thought we live in a country founded on revolution, we absolutely deserve to be ruled by tyrants. Pacifism in the face of evil only leads to destruction. Remaining silent in the face of lies on leads to more lies. Good people who do nothing to stop evil and lies, aren't actually good people.

The Kalergi plan.

Even though White people are the only demographic that votes for the right in majority, I haven't heard a single right wing politician (except 2 local ones just this year) explicitly espouse for White ethnic interests beyond extremely vague rhetoric and policies (like improving the economy). However, the mainstream right has actively, repeatedly, and explicitly expressed interest in supporting and passed policies for non-white groups, and has repeatedly told their voting base (White people) that we must be "big tent", or "we won't survive". Not only is this an admission that they know the Kalergi plan (the systematic replacement and genocide of White people in our own countries, through open borders and mass non-white immigration) is taking place, but they're actively endorsing it by catering to our replacements, and shaming White people into accepting our own genocide.

Furthermore, the mainstream right actively participates in facilitating the Kalergi plan, by keeping the borders open and mass non-white immigration flowing, with the only vocal push back being "so long as we're replaced legally". The mainstream right, in coordination with the openly globalist left, also actively censors any discussion of race realism, the fact that nations are built on its people, that you can't change the people of the nation without changing the nation, that you can't transplant a unique people to a different location and expect them to act completely differently, that there's no such thing as magic dirt, and that White people have the right to collectivize and espouse for our ethnic interests. We're also being viciously shamed for any form of racism, even on things that aren't racist. We're being labeled inherently racist and evil, that we're colonizers, inherently evil, and owe every non-white on the planet our money, hard work, property, homes, and our very lives. We're shamed and censored if we dare disagree with any of this, even if we advocate for our own survival

White people are being denied our natural rights, to associate with whom we choose, to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our communities, and our people/nation, the ability to have our own homes/nations, the ability to protect the borders of our own homes/nations, the ability to gatekeep out undesirables (for any reason), and the right to fight back against our oppressors, natural rights that are granted to everyone else.

Why should any self respecting White person continually vote for leaders and parties that are actively participating in our genocide, and preventing us from stopping it? Trump has actively espoused anti-White sentiments and policies this election cycle. He views racism and antisemitism has evil, that White people collectivizing is bad and should be punished, and that he wants the biggest immigration numbers ever.

Delaying the necessary action to stop this only serves the people in power. Every year we wait to act gradually decreases the White population and increases the non-white population. The people in power are hoping that by the time White people act, we'll be in such a small minority that we'll have almost no chance of winning. They run war games on possible civil war/revolt scenarios, and they show that every time we get violent, the entire house of cards falls, they lose all power, and we win. They're hoping to stave off the violence for as long as possible. They use their false choice parties and leaders to advocate for pacifism and "vote harder [current year]", and call anyone calling for action outside the controlled and curated confines of the corrupted system "feds", even though the feds don't want us to fight back. They want us to continue to using the corrupted systems.

Participating in a corrupted system, tacitly places your approval on that system.

Every time you vote, even though we know the votes are rigged, and the parties and leaders are corrupt, you rubber stamp all of it with your approval. In addition, this tacit approval also hinders any discussion, collectivization, and action against that system. What do MAGA right wingers say when people like me advocate for revolt? I'm a "fed". I'm a "loser". I'm a "democrat operative". "Vote anyway".

I refuse to participate in a system I know is corrupt. I refuse to cast my support behind people actively trying to kill me and my people. I refuse to compromise with half truths and outright lies. I refuse.

The lesser evil has only lead us here. Compromise with lies has only lead us here. You don't correct a lie by acquiescing to some of it, making it easier to swallow for fools and cowards. You tell the truth, and only the truth. You don't fix a problem by continuing to operate in falsehoods and lies. You can only fix a problem through truth, and only the truth. Every single time a good person compromises, we're dragged down to hell, one inch at a time.

There is only one way out of this.
