OP 139 ( tl;dr)
(Anonymous) 2008-09-13 08:56 am (UTC)(link)Presidential Election between Kerry and Bush? I had the pleasure of sharing a ride in an elevator with two young college women who were saying they wouldn't vote for Kerry because he "looks like a Donkey". THOSE are your people who fuck up this country.
Washington State, 4 years ago. Race for the Governor? Republican Candidate won by a slim margin. The State called for a recount. Republican Candidate won a second time. The Democratic Party demanded a recount a third time and were told they have to pay for it. They were given a deadline, raised enough money by the deadline, and a recount was done. There was talk of just doing a revote, but they decided against it. The second recount yielded the Democratic Candidate as winner by a small margin and was made Governor. After she was Governor, a wave of ballots were discovered. . .several that didn't get counted, several duplicate votes, several votes from the deceased and several from felons. But ya know, whatever. Let's not bother correcting the error.
Not to mention my anger and rage how Dems only count caucus results in primaries and that I was once forced to vote for all one party ( So fuck me for being an independent! I use to be forced to pick a party due to laws that now are [ thankfully ] gone. )
AND THIS RACE MY GOD. A bit unfair in my opinion when it came to the Democratic Race. All that the media and the majority of the people gave a shit about. . .the possibility of having the first black man or first female president. Maybe you actually paid attention to the candidates' platforms. . .I mean, I certainly did. But the majority of people I know, only gave a damn about one thing if they were planning on voting democrat.
Do I want a woman president or do I want a younger/black president?
So yeah. After being fed all the MSM and hearing about all the pointless arguments? Yeah. I am throwing my hands in the air for this year's election and saying "I give up." After getting so angry and upset over everything ( Because I was very invested in this Presidential Election. ) I realized. . .this is not doing any good for me. The only way I can keep my sanity is to just laugh at it and pretend it is all joke.
Let me end on this note ( If you are still reading this, I do apologize for the really long reply. ), Washington State use to be a Pick-A-Party system where you had to vote within one and only one party and you had to declare what party you were affiliated with or your vote did not count. The reason why Washington State is no longer a Pick-A-Party state? The first election that it held under that law. . .people didn't vote. There was a HUGE drop in voter participation and people sent in blank ballots, cut up ballots, and the like. Not voting sent a HUGE message to the Secretary of State and it was changed.
Of course, I am just one person and I am pretty sure there will be plenty of people voting come the General. I'm not throwing away my ballot, no. I am going to use it in an art piece to show the MSM war that has gone on this year.
Find comfort in knowing that I am a firm believer that someone who does not vote cannot bitch about how the president is doing?
