Election post party?

I just voted Bush out of office and bought a bottle wine to bring to a friends "Bush Bashing" party. There's going to be a Bush pinata, can't wait to take a swing. muahaha

So does any have any celebration plans for tonight?

Oh and place your vote here so we can do a little polling ourselves.

Haven't voted yet, going after work.

I'm here in Boston, so if I'm lucky I'll be celebrating with the man, the official after party this evening in Copley Square.

Voted other in about the 9th election on this site.

Please read my sig people...you might learn something

Anyways, I voted for Nader as Im sure everyone knows by now. Got challenged by a poll worker and had to deal with the antiquated Write-in system. All in all, a good experience though...

Who else predicts serious flaming come midnight or so when they announce the results?

I voted Badnarik, though I'm sure many of you are tired of hearing about it. Why would you care, anyhow?

Theres something like 20 million newly registered voters & most are 18-25. They will vote for Kerry & he will win. My vote Kerry.

I voted early this morning at 9:30 and didn't even have to wait in line. I just zoomed right in, showed my registration, grabbed my ballot and voted. In-and-out in less than 5 minutes. It's great to see such high voter turnout around the country though, I wonder what the final % of eligible voters who actually vote will be.

I voted for the "give americans their own seperate political forum" option.

EDIT: i would vote for nader for sure, if i was american.

Some places around here had 3hr/+ waits this morning, other places didn't have any. I timed my trip during a very busy class period when I had nothing going on so I guess I just lucked out.

You hope.

They took a random poll of kids from 1st through 12th grade of which candidate they'd choose and they selected Bush.

The choice of the kids is usually the victor, eerily.

Kids don't know shit. They vote for whoever the president now is because they don't know any better. I read about one of these polls like a week ago and it was something like 68-32 Bush. That's just asinine.

Actually, the younger assortment of kids get their information through their parents. So we can somewhat see how their family will vote.

Anyways, the younger voters who came from foreign countries have more of an idea of which candidate to vote.

Shit, I left Russia to escape socialism. Why the hell would I want to vote Democrat?

I doubt kids 1 through, say, grade 8 can form any logical basis for their opinion on the issue, and they probably don't even pay attention to what their parents think. Do you think mommy and daddy are going to push their political views on some 8 year old? The kids just see who has been on TV for the past 4 years and assume they are the right man for the job. People in grades 9-12 can somewhat more intelligently form their own opinions on the candidates, but this group is more likely to pay attention to their parents beliefs and just follow them.

My parents were always condemning the democrats as far back as I can remember... I think it really depends on which school it was taken at. Innercity NY is probably a lot different than rural Texas.

For the most part, you're right. Growing up, I did get mixed up in the whole political thing with my parents. Guess I was speaking off personal experience.

That's true but it seems that a lot of the kids just don't plain care about it so they'll jump on the majority bandwagon to NOT feel left out.

preach on bro!!!! you are absolutely correct. i was born and raised in Croatia (yes, old Yugo), another commie / socialist regime during the 80's. that shit just isn't good for anyone.

Socialism isn't necessarily bad, it's the execution of it which has usually caused so many problems. Partial socialism has worked out very well in the UK and Canada.


Posted by goodgreef on Nov-02-2004 22:00:

i dont know who i would vote for if i was in the U.S. right now...
I never followed politics very closely, and still don't but I sort of wish I knew who and what to be able to make my own decision.

and the thing is, that i think most people in the WORLD probably don't judge for themselves (even if they think they do), but vote for a certain person because either
1) their parents preach it at home, so it must be right
2) their friends have strong vocal opinions because THEIR parents preached at home
3) don't know who to vote for, so they vote randomly
4) they vote for a certain person because of mass media influence.
