Posted By: John Darcgod, this is so annoying.
who the fuck cares? I don't care if celebrities who annoy me tell me to vote. I live in NY. Electoral college ftw, guess what, Obama gets NY.Move over, bananas! I've got a new source of potassium!
While I agree that the electoral college throws this whole message out the window, I appreciate the effort. At least it's an attempt to get Americans to care about something other than a sale at Shametarpia (Wall-mart). Complacency and apathy are two things I cannot stand (two things I struggle with alot lately), and I like the attempt to actually get people to care about something larger than themselves, a feat in itself. -
Yeah, the electoral college... but it's not like the president is the only thing to vote on. Most symbolic, yes. In terms of impact on your day-to-day, not as big as choosing your congresscritters and other state and local offices, or voting on bonds and initiatives and the like. I do wish more people would care about those.

As the voice of dissent, I would posit that a choice to not choose is still a valid choice, just like the Rush song says. I don't agree with this "you have no right to complain if you don't make a choice as to which assbag holds office."
That being said, I understand the sentiment of wanting people to not be ignorant of issues. I just think it's valid to not choose if there is no choice that meets your expectations. I, for one, am a registered Republican who is not voting for John McCain, but writing in a candidate. I'll probably change my party affiliation the next time I register. -

Yeah I only go with independent. I realized pretty early on that everyone who tried to formalize ideals into organizations was a leetle bit douchey, so I run free like a chupacapybara.
Howdy, Stranger!
