He's right. Election time always makes me embarrassed to be American because everyone here acts like our elections are the most important thing going on in the world.
To those outside the United States, I don't blame them for being annoyed by the constant comments alluding to either candidate on message boards and online articles (often times that have
NOTHING
to do with the article in question). -

Well obviously you knew what OP was talking about. So if you aren't American this thread should be pretty much meaningless to you. So why come into this thread and make a meaningless comment about nothing? Just to bash the OP for asking folks a question? Nothing you said added anything to this conversation and you just wasted precious precious time.
It'd be like if someone made a thread titled "What's your favorite Chinese food?"
and then I entered it and started bitching, just to bitch, about how "not everyone eats Chinese food". Okay thenDONT GO INTO THE THREAD ABOUT CHINESE FOOD AND DEFINITELY DONT COMMENT IN IT. That thread has no meaning for you. You have no purpose there, unless you are curious about other folks Chinese food consumption.
Don't call OP a dumb ass because you felt the need to enter a thread that has nothing to do with you. Obviously this was directed at Americans. OP never once said "EVERYONE ON THE SOUTH PARK BOARD IS AN AMERICAN" did he? We clearly all know the election is going on in America so obviously this thread was directed towards Americans.
Idiot.

I may have if Bernie Sanders was still running, but to choose between either Trump (inexperienced billionaire) or Clinton (allegedly has an ulterior motive from what I understand), then no, I'm sitting this one out as well.
My state (Florida) is primarily Democratic now since people voted for Obama in the past two elections. It seems as though Clinton will most likely win this time around.
Besides, I find it hard to believe that our votes even count. It's still ultimately up to the Electoral College on whom exactly is going to be the next POTUS.
I know I grew up with parents and teachers that used to tell us it
does
matter and that we should state our opinion by voting, but I'd like to think otherwise. The main example being the 2000 Presidential election.
I went as far as voting in the Local and Primaries, but that was to address concerns where I reside. Other than that, I'm passing on the General.
Edit:
I also wanted to mention that the President always winds up being either a Democrat or Republican. Just once, I'd like to see somebody from an entirely different party be elected. We haven't had one since, what, Millard Fillmore from 1850 - 1853? It's time for a change. -

I vote via absentee ballot, so I already sent in my vote. Left the POTUS part blank, cause I'm not about to waste a vote on a bunch of sniveling twatwaffles that I can't trust. At this point, if I had written in Beavis & Butthead in the write-in option, those two would probably be more qualified & trustworthy than the current ticket.
I did, however, vote for Rubio in my state (from Florida as well), as well as the questions & Supreme Court section, but that about as far I went. -

What's the point in voting for the Presidential election? As someone already pointed out, the government will select whomever they want regardless of what the people want. I haven't voted since 2000 when the majority of people, myself included, voted for Gore but the government decided to make Bush President, regardless of what the majority of the citizens wanted. It's FUBAR, I tells ya.

Anybody not voting for the president should still vote. Your congress people are on the ballot, as well as local politicians and referendums.
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
