Gamers: Vote


+enlarge

I put together this image as a little reminder to all gamers. (I’ll post this for the next four days until the election)

Make sure you vote, and if you’re unclear on who you’re voting for have a look at the following sites:

Are they telling the truth?:

    (As posted in “Thwomp the Vote”…)

    Don’t forget all the other parties running as well. I know I’m forgetting some of them here, but this is a decent list:

    America’s Third – David Jon Sponheim
    Boston Tea – Charles Jay
    Constitution – Rev. Chuck Baldwin
    Democratic – Sen. Barack Obama
    Green – Rep. Cynthia McKinney
    Libertarian – Rep. Bob Barr
    New American Independent – Frank McEnulty
    Prohibition – Gene Amondson
    Reform – Ted Weill
    Republican – Sen. John McCain
    Socialism and Liberation – Gloria La Riva
    Socialist – Brian Moore
    Socialist Workers – Róger Calero

    …and several independents

    Obviously the minor parties have no chance of winning, but remember Perot in the 1990s runs had a considerable portion of the popular vote because enough people jumped parties. Once a party reaches 4% in the general election, it can receive cash from the Federal Election Fund 4 years later, leading to possible future shifts in party dominance as has happened several times in the country’s past. (I mean, who votes Democratic Republican, Whig, Federalist, Bull Moose, or Free Soiler, anymore?)

    Anyways, take into consideration all the issues and where the candidates stand. Do your research so that you are not voting blind. Voting for looks, gender, ethnicity, or rhetoric, are not as important as voting based on what that individual will do for the country. There are countless issues, some major, some minor, some over-politicised. Pick what matters to you, and research it because the winner will be in office for 4 or 8 years.

    In short: Make your informed choice, and cast your vote.

    Also remember that you only have a valid claim to complain about who ends up in power if you voted.

    True, hullbreach, unless the one complaining is a minor ;)

    Vote Antidisestablishmentarianist! :P

    Dagnabit those whipper-snappers and their complaining! :D

    Tomorrow’s the big day. Time to see which diablo ends up pulling the strings (or having his strings pulled) for four years.

    SirVenom, this is the first election that has made me fear for the future of the country and for my family. In the past, candidates have been weak or have had plain stupid ideas. This time around may mark the end of the United States as we’ve known it.

    I don’t know what’s worst, the puppet or the pupper master, but we will be seeing a president who is dangerous on either side of that idea. I’m voting tomorrow, but I know that votes make no difference, anymore.

    Indeed, Hullbreach. I am welled up with a strange combination of dread and excitement… I don’t know what to expect.
