Subsim Presidential Election

Seth8530 · 06-03-2012, 03:51 PM

Just curious to see how this mock vote will go. Im adding a non American voting option as well, that way we can compare and contrast how the Americans will vote compared to the rest of the world.

I'm voting for the Buna- Steed ticket.

Vote "Buna-Steed" for subsim president.

The question is, if the coming president of USA, have the gust to do what is necessary or not.

Since neither candidate is acceptable to me and the "Other" option requires a serious candidate, I cannot make a vote. The two primary candidates are only pandering to their chosen demographic while pushing their agendas despite the wishes of the American public.

While I cannot make a vote in the poll because my selection is a "gag" choice made from protest, I will go ahead and place my "vote" for Duke Nukem. Ol' Duke may be many things, most are not politically correct. However dishonesty is not one of Duke's traits...which is the least I can say for the other candidates.

I already see a lot of eyes rolling over this, but I would rather vote for a fictional character that embodies and lampoons 1980's chauvinistic machismo than the other two excuses for *ahem* "representation".

Neither. Like our candidates, none of them have thoughts beyond their own office. Romney is more of the same old, and Obama has just idled throughout most his time in office.

No vote, but election boycott instead of making the ballot unvalid. Keep the turnout low - making a ballot invalid still helps pushing up the turnout.

Not according to the Comment is Free section of the Guardian website he hasn't. From what I can gather, Old Barry has spent the last four years flying over Pakistan on the back of a drone and personally killing Taleban children with his bare teeth. Who knew? He looks so bookish!

I vote for the Buna-Steed ticket too.

Or maybe this guy.....

Here is another way to look at the whole thing. It doesn't matter who is elected, Bernard is going to wind up running the country.
