I think the real problem with this election is that neither candidate seems overwhelmingly great. Unfortunately, I know a large number of people who wont be voting on the principle that they dont like either candidate - AND - feel that voting for a 3rd party candidate is a waste. (Thats a whole different debate). The thing is, there are people who dont like the candidate, and dont like the two-party system. And there are people who are not US citizens who are glad they dont have to make this choice. Some people seem really comfortable with the "lesser of two evils" thing. I personally, am not.
It makes me miserable that this is the first National Election I get to participate in. I love America, and I love the concepts of Democracy and equality it was established on - but man, im telling you that its going down the shitter politically.
If you are pro-Bush, thats splendid. Im not. I dont think war, for any reason, is ever right. And yes, that does make me a pacifist. AND NO, it does not make me ok with things like Sep 11. (Once again, I digress into another debate).
I really think its unfortunate that it boils down to a two-party election. Where I wager that a high percentage of people feel like we, as Americans, lose no matter who wins.
