    As you probably have heard, it's election season here in the United States of America, and since we're holding elections currently here on Zidocraft, I think this is a good time to ask the question poised above. I know politics obviously isn't Zidocraft's "thing" but I'm bored, and curious at the same time. If Mage decides this topic should not be here, then he can delete it. Please do not vote if you don't have a somewhat good idea of American politics.




    Note: an asterisk (*) indicates an officially major political party that has won at least 5% of the national vote in past presidential elections and is currently receiving federal funding.




    Rules on responses below:
    1. Use common sense
    2. Don't throw personal insults at community members (if you do your post will be deleted and you might get temp banned from the forum)
    3. Avoid personal insults at candidates
    4. No caps or raging or multiple exclamation marks/question marks (ie: WOW YOU SUPPORT "X" CANDIDATE????)
    5. Follow forum rules.
    6. Do not put pointless posts on this topic by saying, "I don't care" or "I don't know since I don't follow politics and/or am not American" as your post will just be deleted.
    7. If you don't know much about a candidate, I suggest you do research on him or her before voting or just don't vote at all Razz
    8. Overall, just keep it civil, OK? Very Happy




    My take (read after voting/if you are not voting):

    Honestly I don't really care, but if I had a take, I wouldn't vote for Mitt or Barack either. No offence TheK, but this may turn out to be a bad idea, discussing politics and all, since discussing politics with friends usually doesn't turn out so well, unless you agree. It's your choice though, and I think you did a good job setting rules and all.

    Those aren't the only 2 choices, and if you don't care for the other candidates, then I explicitly stated not to just post "I don't care"

    I feel that Romney has too many problems with how he wants to run the country. I know I don't know as much about the American Politics as you but I would vote for Obama over Romney. Even with the things he has done and the bad way he has dealt with the economy.

    You could always, you know, read the choices but since I feel like you probably won't:

    There are currently 5 candidates on the ballot in most states

    Current president of the United States of America: Barack Obama (Democrat)
    Former governor of Massachusetts: Mitt Romney (Republican)
    Former governor of New Mexico: (Libertarian)
    Former nominee for governor of Massachusetts and Lexington town representative: Jill Stein (Green)
    Former congressman for Virginia: Virgil Goode (Constitutional)

    There are only a few cases where a non-major political party one the presidential election, but I rephrased the question so this would be more about who you agree more with rather than who you would strategically vote for.

    I think this is too simple, maybe I'll rephrase the question a bit so it's unique when compared to other polls (considering very few people here are able to vote and this is just an opinion poll)

    EDIT: Done.

    Those people cannot be president. That's why the debates are only Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney.

    No, you are wrong. They are not in debates because Obama and Romney are the 2 candidates most likely to win. -_-

    How come in social studies we don't learn about any other party's besides republican and democratic parties? I feel like I need to read about these others. Lol. Has anyone from the minor parties ever won a election and become president?

    Even though I'm not American, (And I'll probably get a lot of hate from this) I'd vote for Romney, since Obama has plunged the economy into the ground, and although he had to take over from the idiot Bush Jr., he still did almost nothing to help the thousands of people now homeless and starving because of the huge economy drop. When I went to North Dakota a year ago, even in a small town there was at least 20 homeless people, and that just isn't right...

    Abraham Lincoln (Republican was not a major party back then, and was considered a 3rd party) won an election.

    George Washington was an independent and won an overwhelming majority of votes.

    John Tyler, and Andrew Johnson were all presidents who were not part of a major party, but they only were presidents because they were originally vice presidents and the presidents who actually won the election died.

    He did not plunge the economy into the ground, and the economy has actually improved a little overall, but this is just not the recovery that people would hope for. Anyway, the reason I personally dislike Obama is because:
    1. He lies all the time, meaning we can't trust him
    2. He supports the indefinite detention of American citizens without charge or trial just because they're SUSPECTED (NOT proven or convicted of) to be terrorists/terrorist sympathizers. We know this because he signed the NDAA which does just that.
    3. He supports the spying of American citizens without proper warrants (he said he didn't...and then decided to sign the patriot act which does just that).
    4. He does not have any proposal for a balanced budget that would actually work.
    5. He claims to be liberal even when he isn't.
    6. He has great support for the war on drugs (which has resulted in more deaths and violence than narcotics ever would).
    7. He continues to support interventionist policies even though they are bankrupting us.
    8. He thinks pumping unconstitutional federal money into the wallets of district administrators alone is enough to fix our education
    9. He swore to protect the constitution when he is essentially just pissing on it.
    10. He continues to act like HE killed Bin Laden, even though the real work was done by people below him and Seal Team Six.

    As for Romney, it's all of the above except for #10, and you'd have to reword number 9 and 5, he lies more (how that's possible I will never know), he is even MORE aggressive in foreign policy when we should be less aggressive so we aren't hated as much and we won't be bankrupted and we will be able to peacefully trade with others, and there's the potential that we'd have 8 years of him instead of just 4 more years of Obama.
