November 2016 pre-election poll
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
Yeah, I wonder if I should have put it in general. I suspect there are a few people who would participate but never visit this subforum, and those who never ever want to see politics in the main would probably forgive one poll given the magnitude of the election.
But I chose to limit it, and as such it's not going to change much (because the people here discussing politics aren't discussing it to change their own opinions...
from poll to poll.
I actually voted in this one.
The eyes. Then we discovered claws in short order. It worked!
And I'm glad on how fast we can de-rail threads like this. Especially on this topic. Most of us Canadians will be huddled together in our Igloos (a large contingent inside the National Igloo in Ottawa), trying to wait out the shitstorm that you call "Election Day" down there, wondering how Fate will choose tomorrow!
Or the next day. Or the next week. Or the next month... Please don't let it go on as long as in 2000!
Depends on whether it's allowed for the deceased to run for office after they've passed on.
Well, if they're allowed to vote...
...who am I to deny representation to the deceased?

I refuse to vote in any election in which the lovely Kelly Hu is not running.
I approve of this proposal, and I will vote at least eight times for the Sammo/Kelly ticket.
Meanwhile in millennial land, friends and coworkers brag about how much they don't care and aren't voting.
So edge.
So edge.
That kind of reads like, "I don't know how to tie my shoes so check out how trend setting I am in my bare feet."
There are lots of ways to be edgy while still voting.

Like voting alongside Bono as he hogs the limelight?
That would be pretty edgy, since he isn't a U.S. citizen!
what's a narcasit?
It's the same as when you hire a rouge in your D&D party to effect your DPR by stabbing quitely to assassinate you're enemies.
Edit: made it "better"
It's a new and edgy way to set yourself apart from the other narcissists.
- Voted for Clinton. Even if Trump wasn't running against her, I don't agree with the standard GOP platform, and the Green party isn't going to get my vote as long as Jill Stein and her inner circle are in charge.
- Held my nose and voted for the incumbent rep, because the alternatives don't disagree with him on my sticking points (he supports the patriot act and government surveillance) or disagree with him in the wrong ways (he at least is against barely disguised racial profiling by police).
- Voted no on new casinos in Jersey. They can renovate the old ones in AC with tax breaks if they want, but building new ones in new places and expecting things to be different smells a little too much like payouts to construction companies for work that will miraculously end up costing the public an order of magnitude more and see most of the revenue go to private pockets.
- Voted yes on locking new gas tax revenue to improving road and pubtrans infrastructure. Huge need in Jersey. A little concerned about oversight and transparency, but that's the case for everything budget related here. Would have preferred to vote against the gas tax increase, but that's a done deal already, so we might as well pick beforehand what it goes to rather than the murky fund-borrowing that keeps happening in the General Fund.
That's so 90's.
It's fun meeting your senator outside the polling place five minutes before you vote against her.
