Please remember to vote tomorrow (USA)
Polls are open from 7:00am until 7:00pm tomorrow. Please make sure you take the time to go to your local polling place and vote.
Over the past two elections the number of eligible voters ages 18-25 who actually go vote and have their voices heard has gone up slightly but it is still way too low at 24%. Americans from age 18-21 have only had the right to vote for under 30 years and they are the group that votes the LEAST. If you do not vote you cannot complain, for you have not done even that one small thing that would effect some change. Please remember to vote the entire ballot and to read carefully any propositions at the end of the ballot. These propositions and the small local elections have the MOST effect on your day to day life. Take part in democracy. If you do not like the way things are, vote the representatives out. if you like it, vote to keep them in. THEY work for US, remember?  |
I am planning on voting tomorrow. Let's hope those dimwits in congress get the fuck out of there.
|
and for the cynics: there are only going to be more dimwits, and the solution is only temporary until we come up with a better system and more direct involvement, but that is no excuse to shirk all responsibility. pick the lesser of evils if you must, but don't let passivity overtake you.
|
I am voting for Anorld Swarchennegger he seems to be the better candidate.

Can you not just start a civil war or something?

Oh don't worry the right-wingers here are in a big mess among themselves. It will be hard for them to blame liberals.

voting is for squares. There is no such thing as "democracy" in America, so why participate in the illusion, for shits and giggles? to say that you did? its not worth much to anyone. Citizens of America, go back where you came from, no one belongs here but the indians. why stand on a silent platform, fight the war, fuck the norm. |
i think it is like so wonderful that you guys care about stuff.
|
silliniess. sure representative democracy is not a perfect thing, being an XVIII century technolgoy,, but at least one can minimize the damage that some of the most evil bastards are doing at the moment.
|
SuchFriendsAreDangerous I disagree with you, I think democracy is working quite good.

i'm wondering about the role that DIEBOLD MACHINES are going to have in "deciding" those tight races.... |
I shall vote tomorrow, strep throat and all.
We don't have the electronic machines, we're still stuck in the 80s, though I wouldn't have it any other way. |
already
|
good topic.

oh please... raging against the machine by smoking bowls is not going to change anything. you could at least vote for some party that proposes legalization of marijuana or something. :rolleyes: |
Yes, I think it's a farce.
Yes, no one I like is ever even remotely electable. Yes, I think that "democracy" and "majority rule" give generally shit results because the "majority" of my fellow voters are ill-informed cretins with peanut-sized brains and a worldview that doesn't extend outside a 5-foot bubble they have erected around themselves. Yes, I am still going to go and do it. *sigh* |
democracy doesn't work, communism doesn't work. it's time for a something new...actually, i'm beginning to think it's a little late for something.
|
it's amazing how many people say they don't want to vote, yet if ALL those people were to decide to head out and vote, how much would be different, the massive block of unvoters are the ones who change the electorate
and frankly non-voters are to blame for much of the problems in the country, and the bush presidency was twice decided by thousands of votes in a single state in both elections, had they gone out and voted, things might be different |
I have to agree with you pantophobia, if non-voters would vote, we would have at least somewhat of a better country.
|
why stand on a silent platform, fight the war, fuck the norm.
|
If you don't vote, you can't bitch or moan. Lets make it a rule.
|
 |
I wish I was old enough to vote :( :( :( :(
|
Get out there, you apathetic fucks.
|
I hope a lot of college students vote, this sect of the voting population needs to wake up.
|
|
only 40% are expected to vote. wonder if paris hilton will be one of them?
|
I will vote right now, the voting booths just opened.
|
Voted this morning.
texas governor race should be interesting. |
The california one will be a borefest. Arnold will win.
|
all done here...
|
I've just returned from voting. Dare I say I had a good time?
I ran into an old friend, and stood outside and smoked for a long while. |
I did it already before I went to school.

i'm keeping fingers crossed for the virginia race.
apparently, senator macaca is on the way out, but by a hair-thin margin. |
"I DON"T Vote!. You know why, this country was bought & paid for a long time ago. The fucking elections they shuffle around every few years is MEANINGLESS. It doesn't mean a FUCKING thing!"
