I turned 18 in 2000. I registered to vote, felt very proud, like it mattered.
Then all that Florida crap happened.
No matter which side you support, or what you think happened down south, one thing has never been contested: Gore received more votes nationwide.
Ever since we're children in this country we're told that we get to pick the president, but that clearly is a lie. The electoral college removes the "simple" voter from the presidential election and puts in the hands of a representative.
To me, that's bullshit, so I won't be voting in any national elections from here on out.
