Human beings are selective that way when it comes to 'cynicism'.
Good point.

LMAO!

I had to share this one.

"Romney's team accidentally releases victory website...after he lost"

You have to admit, if his team was one thing, it was efficient. Now competent? Not so much.

Why don't you just wear a sign around the neck that says "IM IN HIGH SCHOOL LOL" instead?

Even with voters sending a progressive supermajority to the Senate, and sending 7 more to Congress in addition to re-electing a Democratic president, I'll bet the repugs will still make obstructionism their lofty goal.

What the shit? I know there are racist assholes out there, but to get their panties in a bunch and insult the current president like that is just disgusting. Sometimes I wonder if there's hope for the human race or not.

I don't think 'insult' is the word you're looking for.

True. I only made it halfway down the first article and "insult" was the first word to come to mind in the fury I typed. Fuck racist motherfuckers for using racial slurs. Shit like that makes me wish I was one of these guys:



That way I could put a bullet in people's heads who are that fucking ignorant.

So I've been watching the news on TV and holy shit, news anchors telling the president to "play nice" and that he could "learn something" from watching some new movie about Abraham Lincoln. My head is going to explode. What the fuck is WRONG with these people.. it wasn't even FOX!!!!!!!

Just curious.

How many of you voted for Obama simply because you wanted to stop Romney from taking office?

I voted for Gary Johnson because he is black in his own way.

I don't particularly see it as a bad reason. It's certainly not a good reason and seriously... looking at some of the other candidates, there were a lot of radical leftists to choose from. Compare a lot of the things Obama has ratified and such and then ask any liberal American what it is they really want and I can almost promise you that they wont come close to getting what they want out of Obama. He's certainly not going to try and stop the empire. But hey, at least he's using robots.

The way I see it; I feel like the younger generation and the liberals of America got spooked into voting for a guy who at least seems like he's on their side. I don't blame them either. Imagine if Jill stein got 50% of the liberal vote, thus removing any chance that the liberals could have won and establishing Romney as president?

This isn't voting on terms that are honest. I see the liberals never got much of a chance to shop around for good candidates; they were just frightened into voting for a Dem so that the big bad Republican wouldn't enforce fascism lite on the people. I feel like in some ways, the American people have been coerced into making an emergency decision instead of being able to give their electoral determination a real chance. I also think this is basically a bad problem with a two party system. You can't also assume that Romney had honest support for 100% of the right. I'm sure the right was also panicking into picking a guy they really didn't entirely like.

I saw some things on voter intimidation tactics that were happening in the US.. and srslyguisewtf???

A friend of mine posted on Facebook about how the people who hand out "vote for [insert person here]" brochures at the polling places were taught how to 'recognise' trans* people and to mention to them that voter fraud is a crime that they could be prosecuted for.. implying that if their gender presentation didn't match the gender listed on their ID that they might be breaking the law - which I know isn't true, but fuck those people for doing that.

I can't believe that that is a thing.

I voted Obama because of Romney's stance on autism as opposed to Obama's stance on autism. Romney wanted a cure whereas Obama has already been doing things that support autistics. Before I knew Romney's stance on autism I wasn't planning on voting.
