For my class, I don't know what the consequences were. We all did it.
For Alpha, if you're not registered, you can't join.
And as for not seeing the difference in not registering and not voting, that's because you're stuck in the two-party matrix. I have very rarely stayed loyal to the Democratic party in national elections. I've voted Republican in local elections. In fact, I've voted for Dems, Republicans, Green Party, DC Statehood Party, and the Socialist Party. And even if my candidate doesn't win, I can sleep well at night because I voted for who I felt was best. And i CAN vote because I registered.
If you don't think like that, fine. But if you're waiting around for "them" to put up a quality candidate, then you're wasting time unless you're volunteering for political parties yourself.
