There are people out there that have never voted. They’ve never even registered to vote. So it makes me wonder, if they don’t vote and register, by not voting does anyone care?
If you’re registered and you don’t vote, you show up as not voting. People know “hey, this person didn’t vote!” But if you’re not even registered, do we really know how many aren’t? Not registered and not voting might only mean they don’t care, or they don’t like the candidates. But if you’re registered and don’t vote, it most likely means you don’t like the candidates.
It almost seems that if people were automatically registered to vote once they hit the age of being allowed to (or done so when they become a citizen or whatever else is required) — we’d have a more accurate representation of what people really think. Wouldn’t be that hard to get people registered either — go by ID cards or something. Make it so that whenever someone get’s a driver’s license, or just an ID card, they also have to register to vote.
Then why do we even bother? I’m not saying we shouldn’t, but during the last election the phrase “no republican has ever won without winning Ohio” came up quite a lot — some news agencies even gave the presidency to Obama the second they knew who won Ohio.
So it does raise the question, if the other states are so well known for who they’ll go, is that a problem? Are the states really voting for the beliefs of the candidate, or just the party? And if one state decides it all (so to speak) why do they even bother?
It’s just one of those things that’s highly upsetting if you think about it. Millions of people get tossed aside because they don’t count in the overall thing, and all the campainging gets done in a few states – but then it’s all down to one state in the end anyway.
Well at the time this is posted, it’s highly likely given general statistics and predictions. Now while it’s possible that everything will be tossed on its head, chances are Obama will be the new President.
Which leads to the questoin: did you really think he’d be the best president for the country?
You remember it right? When Republicans won the electoral college vote, you kept on hearing “but the popular vote is so close! We were ripped off!” Yet…. now that the electoral college vote is in the favor of Obama…. “Electoral College is great! Look! Everyone loves him!”
Yet at the time of this post? Popular vote has under 1 million vote difference between them.
Amazing isn’t it?
Today’s the day! Get out and vote — go on your lunch break — anything.
Just vote for whoever you really want and believe in, not just someone because it’d trendy or you believe that they’re the ones to go for because everyone else is.
Don’t forget to vote if you havne’t! But then let’s be honest, few people probably “forget” to vote. So how about this: if you don’t like any of the two candidates, vote for a third party. That way in future elections you might just have more choices.
There’s a few things to remember when you go and vote:
- Politicians aren’t god
- Politicians want to be elected — just because they say they’ll do something doesn’t mean they will
- If you worship the politician — be afraid. They’re human just like the rest of us (only they probably blow more money a year than the people they represent make).
Only a few days left until the election — please remember to go out and vote.
So here it is. What’s really important?
What set of beliefs, goals, or anything else is it that people really want? Is it to live out a life peacefully? To have a home? A family? Mabe food? The right to terminate a pregnancy if your daughter that was a product of rape from your father was raped by your father (dad rapes his daughter, daughter gets pregnant, then father rapes his daughter he had with his daghter)? The right to practice sodomy with your loved one? [Here's a hint -- sodomy is oral sex too!] Maybe people only want to breathe?
I’ve been saying for years that the only thing people can do for free these days is breathe, but only until they find a way of cleaning the air — apparently in Canada they’ve recently created some CO2 scrubber for the environment. Know what that means? Yep, as soon as it’s used, you’ll have to pay money to breath too.
More and more people seem to be diagnosed with depression these days. People seem to be diagnosed with some disease constantly. Think for a few moments and see how many people you know that have no diseases. I’m talking about any diagnosed thing from migraines to cancer. How many people do you know? Any?
Everything’s getting to the point of businesses are deciding who gets elected to make sure they get money whenever they want – and laws passed to keep them in business. Then the businesses create things that make it so you either have to pay them for their services, or risk losing your kids, house, or just being thrown in jail (some places have a “you must have city water and sewer or else”, not saying that it in itself is bad….). Now while a number of these business services (food, water, etc) are useful and basically required for life — we could live without them (albeit at a drastically reduced population and potentially more health problems).
The main problem with a lot of things is that you have no choice in it. Want water? You’ve got to pay. Think you can take it from a river? Well…. depends on who owns the river in the area. Even if you don’t get arrested, you might be breaking the law by drinking it – or even risking your life if some corporation’s dumping in it. Think you can grow your own food? Yeah, but you’ve got to own the land. Own land? OK… but you’ve still got to pay taxes. Need money? Well then you’ve got to work for a business, or just of had a good inheritance.
So what is important to you? If you want freedom to live in peace, don’t vote for the democrats or republicans. They’re the candidates for the corporations.
i know there’s a lot of people happy over this, but really it’s not a good thing. People have stopped walking around more – instead they’re taking their cars places again. Prices in the store haven’t dropped (around me at least). No other discounts on products or services that were raised “because of the gas prices”.
Yet I kept on hearing people saying “if gas was lower prices will drop in the stores! Yeah…. what happened was all these places discovered that people would spend more money for things, so now there’s no reason to drop them — more money for the businesses. Now I don’t blame them entirely… as you never know what the gas prices will be one day to another — but i just goes to show that the prices people were used to won’t be around anytime soon.
But doesn’t it seem all-too-suspecious that prices dropped right around election time? Sometimes a coincidence is a coincidence — other times not. But considering that there’s basically one party in favor of the oil companies and a number of other parties, well not “against” but not as “favorable” towards them, it sure does seem to be an election plot by the oil.
Media chooses who does and doesn’t get spots and when during shows, and the edit the news for what’s “newsworthy” which has the effect of deciding who gets elected in a sense — and now the oil companies help out the other way to make it “balanced” —- or other company based on the election, but generally the media seems more democrat based than republican, although I’ve seen them be “discriminating” against both parties in my lifeime.
