On the Day Before Elections, or Of This Sport We Call Liberty

Nov 03, 2008 12:38

All right, guys, Election Day is tomorrow. I know a lot of you have already voted via absentee ballot, but if you haven't and you're registered, please go. (I would like to point out that I'm saying this despite the fact that I know most of you have political opinions fairly opposite of my own ( Read more... )

YES GO VOTE (FOR MCCAIN)

I bet you voted for Nader.

Every time I see his name, I think of "Vader." (After all, it's really just the one line on the N that separates the two.) Do you think we'd get our very own Death Star to annihilate litterbugs from its hiding place in the asteroid belt?

GO VOTE GO VOTE! (Negate McCain votes?)

XD Just had to say that to counter Amy...

See? The beauty (and blood lust) of democracy in action!

hksherra November 3 2008, 20:05:17 UTC

Indeed! 8D

Though my official position is that everyone ought to vote. Because reaaaaaaaally? Especially in this state... votes count! Tis important! YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

XD Yeah. That's what I have to say.

Exactly! And do you know how tiny a percentage of the human population that's ever lived had a chance to influence their government in any way at all? We all have more political and social power than the majority of everyone ever. So no shirking!

Exactically! Don't be a lamer like some of my friends and co-workers and not vote because "they both suck" or "voting for the president has no impact on anything." LAME.

Besides, if you don't vote, you can't bitch about a single thing the president does. NOTHING. So vote for the right to bitch about how much Obama/McCain is fucking up the country when he wins.

No idea who you are... but I adore your username. GO SLAYERS!

And I totally agree with your message. It annoys me so much when people say they won't vote because they hate both the candidates or even worse... that they don't know enough about either. If you don't know about the candidates it's so dang easy to do a bit of research... and yeah. No voting = no complaining afterwards!

6am, baby. (: I'm there.

Liberty runs on coffee!

quitehonestly November 4 2008, 03:36:01 UTC

Or tea. Whatever floats your Awake Boat. (:

byrdde November 4 2008, 03:41:34 UTC

True! I don't actually drink coffee, but I liked the way it sounded.

And what better way to end the campaign season than by flinging around not-entirely-true phrases that sound cool?
