Romney vs. Obama

[Guild McCommunist]

Alternatively, if all those people voted for the candidate they wanted maybe the numbers for third parties wouldn't look so abysmal.
The system is broken since it might as well be 2 parties, but if everyone who would vote for a third party remains apathetic and chooses not to vote at all then it'll just remain broken since those third parties won't ever get anywhere.

If you're going to "throw your vote away" then it might as well be for someone you support.
If more people did this instead of not voting maybe we'd get somewhere.
If there's absolutely no one at all running that you support then by all means, don't vote...though personally I'd rather vote for least terrible. It'd be a shame if the candidate I disagreed with the most won because I decided not to vote.

I'll be honest and you can cough this up to ignorance but I really haven't bothered looking into the third parties. The sad realization though is that it's still a vote of no confidence essentially. I mean I'd vote on principle but not genuinely because I believe in them.

Since this is the case I'd rather not vote for candidates I don't believe in or know about than voting because I should.

Saw this on reddit and laughed thoroughly. The title was "How I felt voting for a third party candidate"

This may be academic for most of you, but here's a nice little vid on the reasons why we're a 2 party system, with very little chance of a 3rd party getting anywhere.
However I do think the Libertarians have a chance of changing this up.. maybe.
Instead of not voting back in 1996, I voted for Ralph Nader, because I was pissed at Clinton's first term, but there was no way I was gonna vote for Bob Dole or Ross Perot. Clinton won anyway. Perot was the actual viable 3rd party (he got 8%) and drew votes away from both Clinton and Dole, pretty much equally.

Anyway, here's the vid.

Varies from new source to news source, but Ohio has been called for Obama along with a few other states. It seems pretty locked in at this point.

Watch Fox news. It's quite pathetic. The reporters are literally going insane.

You know Obama won when people are already calling shenanigans on the election

I saw. My source was outdated. Everyone's calling it for Obama except Fox News. They've decided to "wait for all the votes to be counted".

Even Faux News is reporting this!!
