oh jesus, what a crappy primary we just had. i mean, are you one of the ten ppl who actually turned out to vote? this sucks. now we're gonna be stuck with this moderate liberal...*shivers* i mean, i actually champion the idea of on-line voting tho a friend says it would totally leave elections open to hacking, etc. i mean, yea, i can see that point, but we are getting better technologically at detecting that stuff, then again, so are hackers, but nothing could have been more botched then last year's presidential election. my point here in proposing on-line voting is this a) americans could continue to be complacent and lazy in the privacy of their own homes, but will at least be able to part-take in the democratic process (if there's such a thing left) b) on-line voting might actually get ppl to be more interested in candidates c) candidate debates could be simulcast, poll ratings, etc..we might even get more than a 1/3 of americans to participate

i mean, i dunno..seems like this system isn't working to our benefit, but if anyone can think of any better ideas, please bring 'em on. i mean, i'm registered Green Party and when i go to vote, they see the "G" next to my name and don't even know what it is. It's like "Oh, you're Green..why bother voting? Just pick from Tweedil Dee or Tweedil Dum like the rest of us!"

i mean, honestly, when it comes down to it, voting can be a real hassle. those lines, those crappy candidates. as my friend said when i asked him if he vote "no..... i'm actually voting-impaired. The whole process just confuses me." i think the majority of americans feel that way, so i propose not only changing the two-party system but making voting more accessible and efficient.
