Obviously, you're in the U.S. because we have a midterm election coming up.

And I have to apologize to John Boehner.
If you were the Speaker of the house in charge of a trainwreck economy, with a President that sticks his nose up to the world.... let's just say the rumors about John are true. He drinks.

I generally vote as a symbolic gesture. My state allows write-ins, which is nice during presidential elections.

Not much of consequence to me this midterm, but I'll be voting against my incumbent Congresswoman (she'll win anyway), and voting against the insurance industry on initiative 11-0072.

I literally have been completely out of the loop on what is even going on with the elections due to deployment. Anyone care to enlighten me?

The U.S. is being overthrown from an illegal socialist/communist immigrant, who wants to have the new world order and put everyone into concentration camps.

I can't tell if this is for real or a trolly joke post.

Depends on where you live in the US regarding the state level.

On the national level, the mid-terms elections are being touted as whether or not Democrats could lose their majority in the Senate and/or Democrats can take some seats from the Republican-led House of Representatives. Should be interesting to see personally.

I'll vote for my district's Green Party candidate even though it will almost certainly be a waste of time.

No, and I'm not even really sure who's running yet. So unless one of the candidates really jumps out and catches my attention (either negatively or positively), I'd probably just end up voting along party lines which is a horrible way to vote.

Though I have to admit I'm really hoping Barney Frank would run in the next presidential election. I'd like to see him elected so that we can hear the phrase "Mr. President and the First Husband"... just to see some fucking heads explode. Though the more I think about it, I do think he would make a pretty decent President.

Yup. I heard that on Alex Jooones.


Well this state I'm living in (and want to leave so bad) is pretty blue. So obviously, my token vote for the Republican will be in vain.



But f*** it, symbolism is better than party line voting.

I have no idea what is going on in politics nowadays.
Is this a new presidential election?
Can someone summarize the candidates?

Well, I usually just root for whoever is for things like freedom/equal rights for all, and stuff like that which would benefit more people indiscriminately.

I don't actually vote, though. Ain't got no time fo dat.
(too busy playing games.)

I'll be voting on principle, even if there's barely any races I care about (which means I'll probably vote in 2-3 and leave the rest blank). I think there's a senate seat up this year, so I guess I sort of care about that.

Part of me wants to say yes just so I could be say I tried to get someone intelligent into office...

But then the rest of me reminds me that you'd have to be unintelligent to be IN politics...

Besides, I don't know WHO is running, nor their ideals, backgrounds, achievements, etc. Not gonna vote for someone I know nothing at all about. And while I could look that kind of stuff up, I think things are a bit too split between "Left and Right"/"Democrats and Republicans"/"Liberals and Conservatives" for my taste.

Yes, since there's an initiative to legalize medicinal weed here in Florida. That, and our governor's up for re-election. Here's the kicker though - his opponent is his predecessor who switched parties.

I vote every chance I get. Sure sometimes it is the lesser of two evils but when you don't vote you can't bitch about what you get.
