Romney vs. Obama

[DiscostewSM]

My response:

PRAISE ALLAH HE WON

fixed it for you.

Now that the elections are over, shall we get back to what's important? Time for games!!!

I think I speak for everyone when I say, the best part of Obama winning is tomorrow's episode of South Park.

I can't believe it, Romney won the popular vote but got screwed over by the electoral vote. It doesn't matter that more people wanted him as President, all that matters is the number of points your state is worth.

They're pretty close in popular votes, but I didn't think all votes are in anyway.

To be fair, it's going to take awhile for the Popular Vote to be tallied. The votes from states like California, Washington, and Oregon are still being counted, and they all went big for Obama.

Once all the counting is done, that bump will probably see Obama in the lead. It might not be by a huge margin, but it should still be there all the same.

You know what? This is great! Finally people will shut up about the election. Besides, don't say it like you didn't expect it - it was kinda clear that the U.S is in trouble, but not desperate enough to pick Romney.

True, but Romney has stayed in the lead on popular vote for hours.

Bloody hell, I'm defecting to either Australia or Japan. Sure, they're socialist, too, but guess what? There's no Nancy Pelosi, no Harry Reid, no Obama, so that's good enough for me. Yes, I know that either outcome would have it's pluses and minuses, but I don't agree with Obama's handling of the economy, one cannot explain how 6,000,000,000,000 dollars can be spent in four years where Bush never spent that much in his eight-year presidency. Say what you will, I'm entitled to my opinion as you are yours. Yes, I will be verbally emasculated while experiencing a vasectomy for my conservative views (such as the case with the internet), but I wanted voice my piece. I don't agree with the direction Congress and all the other goons (either party extreme) are headed, all the spending, all the executive orders, all the pet projects, government-enforced healthcare mandates. the whole Benghazi fiasco (face it, it was terrorism, there's no way in Hell that could have been by coincidence, attacking American soil is terrorism).

If you do actually move and leave the states because of a stupid reason, I will gladly give you my 3DS XL and PS3 with all of my games free of charge. Also, don't come to Canada because we don't want any more retards.

I think the average American would choose death over traveling to Canada, regardless of the circumstances.

It'll be interesting to see how the Obama Mk.2 administration handles legalized marijuana.

Looks like Obama just took popular vote as well.

Then the average American is pretty stupid.

Why do we have that f***ing piece of s**t Electoral College again?

Because the Founding Fathers wanted to filter the votes of the unwashed masses.

The Electoral College actually serves a good purpose, though. If the elections were decided entirely by popular vote, then you'd see candidates only really focusing on getting out the vote in big population centers (NYC, LA, etc.). Smaller states would be completely irrelevant.

In the Electoral College system, though, these smaller states have something of a presence. Wyoming's 3 electors may seem like a pitiful amount, but it beats what they'd get with the alternative. Plus, there's the swing states. States flow between being "swing" and "solid" (give or take a few mainstays) every few election cycles, which changes things up and gives smaller ones a chance to shine. Take the example of New Hampshire. It's tiny, and only has 4 electors, but it's status made it hugely important for both candidates.

I wouldn't say the Electoral College is perfect, but it's hardly worthless. While it could be spruced up a bit, scrapping it entirely probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Piss off. Stay in Canada, we don't want you down here anyway.

Anti-American douche

Speak for yourself. After all, Canada gave us John Candy, Nathan Fillion, Michael J. Fox, Mike Myers, Rick Moranis, and William Shatner (amongst many, many others).

Though you guys can keep Celine Dion. No, really.

Few things before I get tired of you:

a) Anti-American? Coming from the person who said he's leaving the states right?
b) I don't want to go to the States anyways. What am I missing out on? A few shopping deals? I'm happy in Canada and have no intent on leaving it.
c) Just because I say the average American is retarded, doesn't make me anti-american. Hell, a lot of canadians are stupid, I guess that makes me Anti-Canadian?
d) Bye
