OsuMj Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I was pretty indifferent to who won - they both have ideas that i like/dislike. I am disappointed that we're going to have to choose between the same 2 parties at the next election. I am genuinely confused about why 3rd parties don't get more votes. Is it the 'wasting my vote' mentality? Is it because people don't know what the 3rd parties stand for? Is it because they don't spend enough money???

Is it because people don't know what the 3rd parties stand for? Is it because they don't spend enough money???Yes, I believe it is that exactly.What is the point of voting for somebody who has no chance at all?Why do we vote for judges when there is only one on the ballot?Etc, etc...

Bad324 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 The bipartisan system is broken and no longer works as intended.

People that voted for Johnson or Stein told me that I threw my vote away for writing in Ron Paul.It's this whole "party" mentality that we need to overcome.

jbot Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 one year, a 100% of americans should just vote in a non-dem non-rep in a landslide just to piss the 2 big parties off. that'll show em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm too lazy too find the actual quote or propely attribute it, but the gist is that Democracy always fails once people realize that they can vote for the government to give them things.It's the beginning of the end of democracy. Not the end of America, but certainly a transition. Candidates are winning by promising to take care of us, and for whatever misguided reason, many Americans are viewing that as a good thing. What I think they fail to fully understand is that, on a scale of 1-10, the government can only provide us with a "3 or 4" level of existence, but we're all free to achieve a 10 on our own.Things start to look a lot like communism when the government is providing for everyone. Everyone will be more equal. Equally poor. yay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Disappointment. By my last check it was a 50% to 49% by the popular vote. That's not good for the country. We are still broken and divided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The millennial generation is going to screw up everything because they don't want to work hard and are used to everything handed to them. Of course touring around with Jay Z doesn't hurt. I don't think people want to make their own decisions anymore. I'm not looking forward to the next four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 My favorite quote of the whole night was Lindsey Graham...”If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn’t conservative enough I’m going to go nuts. We’re not losing 95% of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we’re not being hard-ass enough.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 i think what republicans need is a half tiger woods, half shelter dog, half cesar milan candidate straight out of harvard. that'll git er done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
