I went to a quiz bowl tournament with some other - *doorbell ring*

As a was saying, we went there. I was dressed up a Posiedon. Seaworld shirt matched. :p
In other news, we drowned in pools because of a coin flip.

sigh...
*doorbell ring*

Not really.. the people's votes are more like a popularity contest.. The electoral college votes are what decides who gets the office. And the people's votes aren't taken into account in there as much as it should..
In theory, the electoral college doesn't have to vote in the same way as its constituents, but that never happens because well, that'd make people riot. So people's views are still taken into account. It's just that there's a lot of wasted votes. But that's what happens in plurality/first past the post electoral systems, and it's not necessarily a bad thing (the alternatives have their own pros and cons anyways).
Regardless, it'd still be much more of a waste not to vote.
Al Gore and George W. Bush is a good example of this.. Gore Won by the people's votes but Bush won in the Electoral college votes and became the president..

Well, that was more of the Supreme Court's fault too. Also, if Ralph Nader didn't make people believe he could win, Gore could've won.

Unless the candidates don't have the same ideals as you that you don't like them for it.. I still choose to not vote because they aren't what i feel we need..

While I agree that candidates don't always match our ideal choices, you should still vote, at least to ensure that you get the lesser of the two evils. :lol:

I like it. :) Though I feel like it would be something that Twilight would wear. Maybe it's because of the stars. :lol:
