not that many people vote on polls.

[ezekiel]

why is that?

 

[FrostGiant]

I'm just one person. My vote dosn't matter.

People on this board have a problem with structure.

 

[azal]

a poll that makes sense...

 

[minxnim]

i think people fear that their answers will haunt them later. like people who voted for nader.

 

[deadair]

preppy... pulling out a little bit of "BOO YAA"

 

[minxnim]

haha. nader made his point tho, so he handed out a BOO YAA too.

 

[XzanderX]

BOO YAA?

 

[deadair]

it's true...
he pulled a little perot action on the other side of the fence.

Hey...I feel no remorse for my Green Party votes. I do feel bad about going Democrat in the 2000 election and voting for Gore when I should've Nadered.

 

[minxnim]

i think ralph nader is an amazing human being. i think he's brilliant. his niece used to have parties for him in MA and i had the chance to talk to him a few times. he's awesome. i think the green party is awesome.
i think he rules for pointing out that it didnt matter who won, because the democrats and republicans are essentially the same anyway in the ways they act (since what they say doesnt matter). sort of like chomsky has been essentially saying all along.

i voted for nader. FYI.

 

[deadair]

i'm all about getting a third party 10%... but i feel like we are a long ways off.

esp for me... (me=libertarian... or however you spell it)


and yes, my spelling keeps me from running for any office of my own...

 

[minxnim]

i'd vote for you if you banned fur coats and stuff.

i'm even worse. i think i must be an anarchist. i can't even tell anymore.

 

[deadair]

banning fur coats is first on my list of shit to ban when i get elected.

second - 80% of the laws that are in the books.


(i have a legal pad of paper with the header "Offical List of Shit To Ban")

 

[minxnim]

i like the sound of that list.

the sad thing is, i only vote because my mom BEGS me to. she's like this crazy radical and basically she just calls me and tells me who to vote for when the time comes. i just feel like voting is totally useless not because 'my vote doesn't count' but because the options are like, "thing one: an asshole who admits he's an asshole" and "thing two: an asshole who pretends he likes you".

[avi]

but prep- that's how they've got you conerned. if everyone who felt that way voted, we'd have viable 3rd parties someday.

I'm big into this Instant Runoff Voting thing now...I think that would make our voting system a trillion times fairer, because you wouldn't have to say something like "Well, I want Jill Stein to win, but I'm voting for Evil Shannon O'Brien so Slightly More Evil Mitt Romney doesn't win." That's not democracy.
