US's voting system

[MissTake]

Whether you've been around that long or not, it's still history.

We were talking about margins of victory. 😛

Wasn't Reagan's marginal victory not part of history? :shrug:

😛

Re: Re:

I'd like to see voting mandatory like in Australia.

Too many lazy people here in the USA. It took women and African-Americans hundreds of years to get suffrage, yet not all of them vote. Whites are lazy too (in case somebody calls me a racist or a sexist).

Eh, I'm too lazy to argue that. :lol:

Absolutely. One of the largest margins of electoral votes.

So basically the Americans are too lazy to cast their vote but aren't lazy enough to complain about their Government?

Figures.

The people who don't vote tend to be opinion-less on political matters or don't really care enough. There are people who read more about celebrities divorcing each other than politics in any society.

No. The Americans are too lazy to learn enough about politics to cast a vote, but they aren't too lazy to find out what Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Slutty McHoe are doing. I hate the USA.

What a coincidence, because I love the USA. Ignoring the last 2 years, America is a free country where those people can watch Entertainment Tonight and read The Enquirer as much as they ***** well please. Forgetting the last 2 years, we have reasonable freedom of speech, a free market, and the highest standard of living in the world. I agree that people should vote, but why you hate america as a country because of this is beyond me.

I saw a video the other day of Dubya wiping his hand on a mans back after shaking hands with Clinton, apparently he did it with Obama too? How that man came to be president and not blow up the world I'll never know? I suppose that was the voting systems fault? :lol:

People in the UK are too lazy to vote (me included) but don't mind moaning about the state of the country! The biggest problem being that the parties always promise one thing and do another! :roll:

Bo country has 100% free speech, but back in bush's day there was a **** of a lot more free speech than now. If you even criticize Obama then you will be yelled at and pressured like mad. Obama is an un-insult able president. If you disagree with his policies then you are a racist who should be imprisoned for hate crimes, according to the liberals.

@MissTake: then vote for mickey mouse.

Ever tried doing it to a congressman's face or on TV? Also those tea-partyists be called racists all the time, but no one has any evidence of them crying out those racial slurs.

Oh [profanity removed] that. I've seen much worse from people protesting Bush. :lol:

And contrary to northerner's beliefs, the Confederate flag is NOT a symbol of racial superiority, white power, or the KKK. It is southern pride.

 

[Cosmic]

The confederacy was about state rights. To some people, everything is racist. This is not so. The KKK are a terrible group, but have no connection to the confederate flag.

So you saw racist remarks towards Bush from who now?
Hate to break it to you, most of your Tea Party people are racist 70 year old men and women with nothing better to do but complain about the black man.

No, I saw people with signs indicating death threats to Bush.
