America

Ahh, the map resized to show the population of each state.

Ask Wendy

Actually, N likes Gary Johnson, too.
It is legal to vote for him.(Duh!)
He got third place in 48 states.
He was the candidate for the Libertarian Party.

Gary Who? Stein? Another Party? Say What?

 

America has a two party dominance. Republican and Democrat. The Independent parties hardly stand a chance! Leading up to this Election Day, pretty much everyone asked me, "Who would you vote for president?" I always answered Gary Johnson, an answer to which all but one person responded with either a "Who's that?" look followed by an unineterested shrug or by yelling "Nooooo! I meant Obama or Romney! Is it even, like, legal, to vote for Gary Johnson anyway?"*
Considering the chart below, it's a pretty impressive feat that Johnson even got 1% this time around!

Anyhow, this isn't exactly a fair game. Obama and Romney, as you might know, spent a total of $6 billion on campaigning! Third parties don't get equal campaign funding and therefore less publicity. Others may side with third parties but don't want to "waste" their votes.

I'm just saying that I feel third parties totally deserve a chance. After all, America is supposed to be "with liberty and justice for all." It was not founded to have a strict two party system. People from other parties used to be elected more often, but our last third party president was Fillmore, of the Whig Party, in 1850! (I think... Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Just my thoughts... Sort of a follow up to N's "3rd parties" post.

*Most were strong Obama supporters.
 

stupid 3rd parties

why are they called 3rd parties if there are more than one
and they are stupid because we wont get a majority in florida because the 3rd party canidates are taking about 0.8% of the vote there causing mitt romney and obama to be neck-and-neck but neither gets a majority
then no one gets the electoral votes and there will be a big legal siut
it will be a repeat of the 2000 election
just saying , but al gore should have won
we would have been a lot better off


if u r in florida and reading this--
if u didnt vote then u will be the cause of this
u could have prevented it
ur vote counts


update
no one got Florida because no one got a majority

election

Today is election day
