Also, It might be nice if we had proportional representation.

I'd never vote anything but democrat in my district, because I'm so outnumbered by conservatives, but in other, more moderate places it'd make a big difference.

In congress you can kinda have something like that, but they tend to sorta divide themselves along big party lines. I guess most political issues in this country are kinda binary anyway. GAYS GET MARRIED Y/N?

Okay. Whoever had said that on Facebook must have been misinformed.

And you can't ask for equal representation of parties in your area. That's just silly. That's not how voting works.

And no, the president and Congress are equally important. What's more, the president is only one person. Why we don't personally elect him makes no sense to me.

Also: you just said you never vote anything but Democrat, but then complained that politics is so binary. I think you proved your own point!

Maybe if we didn't have millions of voters choosing a person simply because they have a (D) or an (R) next to their name, I wouldn't be so cynical about voting.

The person who said obama lost the popular vote probably heard this before the west coast was tallied. A lot of people on tumblr were making a dumb fuss about it.

And I'd love to be able to vote for, for example, a green party candidate, but I would vote democrat because that is how the system works. If I vote green in this area, it's like abstaining. Thus my complaint.

For the record, I researched the people I voted for, and knew what their stances on issues were. Ironically, of the two people running for the house seat in my district, both seemed at least kinda conservative, but one was more so than the other. And so it was voting for the guy who I was maybe half aligned with versus the guy who I would be completely against.

I just happened across this place while I was playing just now. It would be one thing if it was hard to get to, but you literally walk down a hall. And if you skip ahead to the end of the video you can see what happens if you jump out the giant hole at the end of the room.

BEST GAME ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS

Eh, the Democratic-Republic approach works well enough, I feel. People who don't really give a crap at all usually don't vote in local elections, and cast their laughably misinformed votes in the presidential election only because they want their team to win. So really, if the popular vote isn't reflected in your electoral votes, then your state just doesn't have enough people that actually care at all.

I mean, I live in Oklahoma. I still have people telling me that "OBAMA'S TOTALLY A FLAG BURNING MUSLIM WHO REFUSES TO SALUTE THE FLAG AND WAS SWORN IN ON A QUARAN BOUND IN THE SKIN OF ORPHANS AND INKED IN THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT".

I don't think people that stupid should be allowed to breed, let alone be allowed to help determine one of the most powerful men in the world.

Voting and politics are pretty much a joke and I'm pretty sick and tired of people riding around on high horses when they talk about both things. The government is run like s**t and pretty much everything is out of our hands. I don't know if I'll ever vote because like Wayne, I'm too cynical towards the whole ******** thing. I'm more interested in visiting my girlfriend this weekend and getting the Wii U next weekend because those two things actually influence me in my real life. wink 4laugh

Let me know when the way things are run is completely rewritten and makes sense to more than 20% of the people in the nation, things get done and can change, and it's not all run by old, out of touch white men. Or when I can afford to go to school or see a doctor on a semi-regular basis.

Actually, just don't contact me at all. ******** off. 4laugh

I went out to best buy today and they had a WiiU demo Kiosk. Only Rayman Legends was playable, but ti was neat. It'll be fun to play with a friend. I think I might actually get this one.

When I get a Wii-U.

I might get Rayman too, eventually. Considering it over NSMBU because I just played a NSMB game and you don't bump into each other. The touch screen elements in Rayman are cooler, too.
