A small recession always hits the UK following a US election year.
Great timing as always, you unthinking sensitive bastards with your big fucking hats and your loud insufferable voices.

I am thinking what to do because I dont want to vote for either candidate. my conscious wont allow it. So skip this election? write in someone else?
- there are more things to vote for than just president.dbloc
- For someone who posts so much opinion about U.S. politics, this narrow focus is surprising.hellobotto
- election is not the center of my life as you may think.yurimon
- I'm sorry it's tough for you. It would be even tougher if you couldn't vote. People died so you could - do your duty, sir !mikotondria3
- "Election is not the center of my life" doesn't seem to reconcile with the volume of material posted.hellobotto

Interesting and well-thought out (well, that's a surprise) conservative look at the polls:

I have a democratic party activist friend who worked as an election judge in 08... he's african american and is disabled, he's in a wheelchair, and when he signed up to be an election judge in Chicago, all the "democratic" election judge slots were taken so he was assigned to be a "republican" judge, and he said he's never seen so many harsh stares as when he was at the polling place that day when people saw the "REPUBLICAN JUDGE" sticker on his shirt....

I don't understand how anyone other than foaming-at-the-mouth religious zealots could vote for Republicans, or Conservatives, or right-wingers of any variety.

Voted in Mass. Obama's got the state but Warren is the vote that matters.

Here is why I think Obama WINS:
Who votes for Romney? - small businesses, corporations and conservative educators.
Who votes for Ryan - tea party, ultra right christian conservatives.Obama - gay, liberals, independents, women, minorities, middle class republicans, womens rights christian liberals, educators and unions.
Biden - see Obama
Obama wins because their base is larger.
* The only way this becomes close is if democratic 18-21 youth do not vote or didnt get i.d. for states requiring it and minority voter suppression and intimidation.
Republicans have a tendency to know the rules and parents get their kids out to vote. This is the only way it will be close + polling location changes could determine millions of missed votes.

Which force-fed, corporate-sponsored, collectivist candidate did you vote for today? Burger King or McDonalds? Coke or Pepsi? The black or the white one? I am so unproud to be in this society that it kills me. I hate all of you fucking Obamanoids and Republicans - i support the next revolution and am in favor of eliminating the federal government all together. Fuck War! Fuck the Patriot Act! FUck NDAA! Fuck the War on Drugs! Fuck Banks and Bailouts and Corporate subsidies. Fuck your fascist vote - you fucking fascist!

Hey, I'm cynical as the next guy about the differences between the two parties here. On the flip side to imagine that there isn't a difference is also pretty stupid - a nice over-intellectual hipster cynical stance. "Oh look at me, I don't play your silly bourgeois games."
Go Vote. Then go try and change things.
- You live in NYC. It is a dem state. Your vote does not matter.rson
- Yes, our votes count. If they didn't, then we wouldn't be a dem state.monospaced
- Your a Dem state because NYC big business is Dem not because you voted.rson
- Actually. It's the votes that determine the outcome. That's simply how it works. If more Repubs vote, then they win.monospaced
- I like your free worldrson
