urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:djcomet The brainchild of my insanity Alex Morrow 2008-10-17T11:01:28Z urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:djcomet:75789 2038-01-19T03:14:07Z 2008-10-17T11:01:28Z Alright. I've had it with the election. It's just a sport now. If you don't support someones team, fuck you and you need to die. And I'm being serious, people are really like this.<br /><br />I'm more centrist/apathetic than I used to be, but it seems completely one-sided online. I try to avoid this shit as much as I can but even things I enjoy doing are infiltrated by this crap. Kotaku makes these stupid posts just to get people in the comments to argue and hang each other. Here's generally how it goes: everyone who supports Obama is praised with agreement. Anyone who differs in opinion is labeled a worthless republican who's an evil shithead; and they don't even mention who they support, just that they don't care for Obama!<br /><br />So what I've learned this year is that if you support Obama, you're cool. If you don't, you're a fucking idiot who deserves to die. That sounds ridiculous, maybe it's just me. It sucks because I'm sure some of you democrats are awesome people and have ideas that make sense, but these people overflow everything this year and it's hard to see nothing like that from this group. I'm not saying there are republicans who don't do the same thing, I'm just saying from a centered/apathetic view, this year, it seems completely terrifying how a lot of people are acting. The complete ignorance and closed-minds I'm seeing from (specifically) the left recently has really bothered me.<br /><br />I don't care for either candidate. I'm not voting this year. I don't believe in voting for &quot;the lesser of two evils&quot;; I think that's that WORST reason to vote. I only think someone should vote for someone they actually like and would want to win. I don't like either so I'm not voting. I'm starting to feel I'm more of a 3rd party person than anything. Which sucks because only the person who gets more corporation endorsement wins. So it's all about money, not about things that really matter. But that's been understood for awhile.<br /><br />People are allowed to complain about a candidate so I feel allowed to complain about the process and the drones involved. People need to understand it's not only okay to not vote, but you SHOULDN'T vote unless you've done your research and actually want that person to win rather than the all-too-common &quot;lesser of two evils&quot; which has been thrown around the past decade.<br /><br />Furthermore, I ask that you all don't talk to me about politics through AIM, MSN, or in person. ESPECIALLY during my birthday party this Friday.<br /><br /><br />_Alex
