120. Well, yeah, I'd rather hang out with fun actors than almost die in a hospital due to not-lupus, too.

130. I don't think it's friendships>relationships as much as, "There are 10,000 fanfics, LJ communities, etc. for relationships per 1 about friendship, so can we at least try to appreciate something that's rarer than it should be?"

138. I agree with you.

141. Crazy fans are not a good reason NOT to vote for someone. And no, I did my research. I know what Obama stands for, I know what my political beliefs are, and I know that we have a two-party system and a vote for a third party is a vote thrown away. Also, Ralph Nader is absolutely fucking crazy and an idiot and I wouldn't vote for him even if I thought he had a chance.

150. I don't like RPS, but that's an adorable picture.

153. Anime is for racists and sexists?

We don't have a two-party system. It's just that our form of government makes it difficult for third parties to thrive. There have been viable third parties in our nation's past, though.

Sorry, I'll clarify - effectively, we currently have a two-party system.

Admittedly, I'm not the nation's best history buff, but I can't think of any time a third party has acted as a legitimate contender, rather than a spoiler, for more than one election at a time, unless another party is dying and it's becoming the new second party. It's certainly nothing like the system you see in the UK, let alone somewhere like India or Israel.

True. That's because we're not set up on the parliamentary system like most of the world's democracies.

Uh. Populism ring any bells?

Populism became more of a political aspect than a party over time, though. I think the point is that no third party has endured in the way that the Republican or the Democratic party has.

Yeah, like you can't find decent gen.

However, while some people just want more friendship fics, others take it too far, usually I see it as a rebuttal to opposing shippers, even of they just ship in fandom or would have preferred a different ship in canon but aren't insane about it. While sometimes the argument is valid (shippers claiming that their relationship is a waste now, or a character is wasted etc.) often it's just a way to try and belittle the shippers and to make themselves feel/seem superior.
