and who are you voting for
[spoiler]I'm registered with the green party (lol) and I'm sadly voting for Obama because the republicans give me nightmares. akudood;[/spoiler]
socialists and im voting for socialism
i'm registered as an independent and i'm voting for ralph nader ron paul
Registered to vote but not with any party. Probably Obama for lack of a better option.
I should register for the Rent Is Too Damn High party
I'm a registered democrat, although I could just as easily be independent or green party or something. I'd like to vote for Jill Stein but I'm going to vote for Obama.
I don't think I am registered with any party
if I am it's probably the democrats
and I am voting for Obama
I was registered as a democrat since I was under the impression that you had to so you can vote in the primaries.
I changed it to Unenrolled after I found out that third party and unenrolled voters and pick a primary and vote in it.
also obamar
Not registered and I don't vote
socialist party USA
No party but I usually vote Democrat. And Obama is the lesser of the evils.
I'm not registered for either. And honestly I probably won't even vote in the presidential campaign. I WILL be voting to NOT re-elect Sheriff Joe Arpaio though cuz fuck that.

You really should. It's pretty dumb to completely surrender a basic right like that.

why
Even if you're voting for Jill Stein, it's still better than complaining about how shitty the country's becoming when you don't even put in the least possible amount of effort to change anything.

First of all I'm not informed on anything so I'm not going to vote just to vote because that would be idiotic and irresponsible. I'm also not going to do it just for my own self satisfaction either. Plus, how is that surrendering anything?
And I probably wouldn't vote for somebody I didn't wholeheartedly (or close to it) believe could actually get things done that would actually be to my benefit or that wouldn't be something horrible. And there's not any use in voting for somebody that has no chance in winning at all.
To that last point some might say "Oh but if everybody who thought that wa actually voted then thy could change something" but they don't vote and they won't so it is kind of pointless to vote for somebody who has no chance.
Also, I think that whole mentality of "I don't like this one side so I'm going to vote for the other side just because they seem to be the opposite" is pretty ridiculous too if that's all the thought people are putting into it.

I don't really complain about that. And I don't particularly like either candidate. the rest of America can decide. I imagine it will be Barack another four years. I will vote against Arpaio tho.
i can't afford to vote
I'm registered with the morally sound men party and will be voting for them.
all of your voting for oabama "just because" -- if decided not too, imagine how many other people would. think about it

What you "non-voters (loser buttheads)" don't realize is that there are a lot of people feel the same way you do and won't vote as a result, so there goes a whole bunch of votes for Obama. I'd rather not risk Romney getting into office so I think it's pretty important to vote in order to make that happen.
Also it's your duty as a citizen, ya butts.
David, don't respond to this.
But that by itself isn't all that good of a reason to be voting.

im a registered sex offender
I'm a registered Republican because Republicans have all but vanquished every other party in my state. Independents can't vote in primaries here, so whenever there's a Republican primary, I vote for Ron Paul.
I register with the dominant party where ever I may be because that puts me under their radar for election time shenanigans. And then I vote for the other guys.
I'm voting for Obama.

goonish
[spoiler]Democrats are shitty too but at least they try to invest a little bit of it on sensible things like health care. akudood;[/spoiler]
and how and why exactly are you "conservative." american conservatism is really nothing more than theocracy and why would you think this is a good idea akudood;
american conservatism basically boils down to "we should be free to do whatever is decent according to my morals and everything else is sick and wrong and those people need jesus and jail"
Also, libertarianism doesn't work when there's a large class divide, as in the US. akudood;
but how the fuck would voting for republicans be a good idea if you identify as libertarian. the only "right" they support is the right to own guns and shoot every living thing on your property goonish

Well, it's a matter of not liking being lied to. It's also a matter of the gender that I am compared to the one that you are. Romney has turned "the big tent" into a giant rug that he keeps sweeping demographic groups under. Under that big ole rug, Ron Paul supporters keep me in good company.

What's been traditionally liberal has been adopted by the cons and what's been traditionally conservative has been adopted by the libs. There's no pigeonholing anybody anymore via old definitions. What used to be Dixiecrats remain Dixiecrats even though they switched parties.
I still can't even fathom how someone who doesn't make $500,000 a year or more can possibly want Mitt Money to be in charge of giving tax cuts to the rich. akudood; I'm all for varied ideas but Jesus, Mitt is a walking corporation and putting him in charge of monitoring government expenses, regulation laws, and taxes is scary.

That's a nice strawman you've set up. I never said the GOP isn't in favor of big government, nor did I imply that are fiscal stalwarts. All I meant is that I prefer that the Republican Party be in power instead of the Democratic Party. I wasn't making a ringing endorsement of the GOP.

isnt that an endorsement is
Quote from: N o t S i d on August 31, 2012, 11:33:19 PM

let's try this again
i do not like the republican party. i think that are fiscally irresponsible twats who are far too focused on gay marriage and abortion when they should be concerned with the fact this nation is deep financial shit.
but they are better on fiscal issues than the democratic party, and therefore i vote for republican candidates in most cases because of the reality of our politics, which is that there are no viable third parties. when it comes down to a decision between a shitty candidate and a really shitty candidate, i will always opt for the less shitty one.
this is not a foreign concept to liberals, either. i would say there are many on the left, socialists in particular, who vote for barack obama because they feel he is the less shitty candidate, not because they feel he will actually implement the policies they want.
Quote from: Zach on August 31, 2012, 11:41:19 PMbut they are better on fiscal issues than the democratic party
do you honestly believe this akudood;
Every time a non-republican has some proposal for balancing the budget, it's destroyed down in the republican-dominated house and they label it the worst idea of all time. Once election day comes around, they say they had a great idea for balancing the budget but the democrats ruined it. e.g. paul ryan's bullshit lies about america's credit rating dropping because of obama when it was really him and his dipshit party: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/08/30/paul-ryan-and-his-little-white-lies/
also, "obamacare" actually saves quit a bit of money ( http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/07/03/510349/study-medicaid-expansion-saves-states-billions/?mobile=nc ) and forces insurance companies to not be as goddamn greedy and wasteful. GUESS WHAT POLITICAL PARTY WANTS TO DISMANTLE IT akudood;
Also, guess what political party is most actively pushing for an expensive war with Iran and saying we need to throw even unquestioning more support to almighty lord Israel. akudood;
also, what party wants to cut if not abolish taxes for large businesses and the rich and let the country fall even farther into debt with no way of paying it off akudood;
spoilers: rich people don't create jobs. they make a business to make money for themselves and only have as many people as they need to maximize profit. lowering taxes for the rich does not mean they'll benevolently offer everybody a well-paying job. they do the opposite. the late 1800s to 1930s are covered in history class for good reasons. akudood;
now tell me what republicans do that make them a more reasonable financial choice
Nah, be more fiscally responsible. Declare war on Iran while cutting taxes.
