I'm passing that on, because it looks interesting. Not to mention true. I better not hear about anyone I know voting for Nader. XD I would vote for the guy. If I learned anything in that awful People, Power, and Politics class in college, it's that Nader is a hell of a lot more "for the people" than any Democrat or Republican ever could be. I'd vote for him... but there's absolutely no way he'll win. People who vote for him every time he runs just throw away their vote. And as close as the polls were last time I heard, we really don't need tossed votes.
I've successfully managed to sit on my butt ordering stuff from Juxtapose Fantasy because it's pretty. Two sketchbooks and a poster. ^______^ Only problem is I might not be able to hang the poster because of its blatant shounen-ai, but that's okay.

It's really sad we have to be strategic when voting...

Date: 2004-05-28 12:38 pm (UTC)Last election, I lot of people I heard talking about it said they were voting for Bush because, while the two main guys were so 'similar,' Bush looked better. That's just great.
I don't know why they're trying to get more and more 'commonfolk' to be voting, or even "I-can-finally-drink-legally!" kids to be having their say.. because a lot more of it is going to be a cointoss. I think if someone has a strong enough opinion about it, they'll get their ass out and vote. But being harassed with mailings & commercials etc when you're busy eating your ballpark frank with a side of a nine year old boy, I don't know.
I'd love to say this whole system is crap, but I can't suggest anything better myself to be criticizing heh.
