Subsim Presidential Election

Seth8530 · 06-03-12, 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.....

unfortunately, once again I find myself in the position of voting against a candidate instead of voting for a candidate.

Justice party, if only he had a VP called Bullwinkle it would really seal the deal.

However I have a back up candidate if needed:

and if all else fails:

you only need 2 poll options

1) More of the same
2) Third party

I cant vote what with being Brit

. but if I were an American, I'd sure not be voting for Obamney, right now I'd be backing Ron Paul (until he gets the boot at Tampa) then I geuss I'd go third party. Id vote for ANYONE other than Robama, those two idiots will just administer 'more of the same' until America cant take it anymore. One of them will win (which one is totally irrelivent), but least i could say i had no part in it.

What are the requirements for voting in the States? My GF has her US passport but has never lived there. I take it there are residency requirements?

I dont know, but im pretty sure you must be a U.S citizen regardless of weather you are at home or living overseas.

I voted for Obama last time because I couldn't stand Bush and McCain with Palin.....4 more years of Bush with the dumbest VP in history. I will cringe with I vote for Obama this time, can't vote for an out of touch elitist with a $500 haircut who believes Joseph Smith had an angel direct him to a buried book written on {what else} golden plates and he was able to translate them into a book. You can't grow up in such a radical fundy system without it effecting how you govern and Romney has proven he is ready to push spiritual morality over the constitution.

It won't much matter in the end anyway....shame we all have to cringe when we vote.
