For the last month or so I’ve been glued to election coverage. There’s something about a political contest that just piques my interest. As a person that gets panicked and anxious easily, It was a tense rollercoaster of a night. All for a race that, as a Canadian, I have absolutely no stake in. Unless, A large population of disappointed voters decide that they’re going to move to Canada in defiance.
As of this writing NBC news claims that Obama has won re-election.
But the real winner this election was Women. First Asian American Woman elected. First openly Gay Woman elected. First Disabled Woman Veteran elected. Big Ups for Marriage Equality in a bunch of states and I’d be remiss to mention that Colorado and Washington have legalized Marijuana. I’m not a drug dude, but I always thought those laws were skewed. So big ups to some social progress.
Also I’m announcing my candidacy. ARG for President 2016!
I like your blanket by the way.
Thanks, my mom made it.
I think it would be fun(profitable) to get some flannel printed with that pattern. ARG the Blanket, now in four shades of beige, including Pink, Tan, Olive, and Brown.Collect them all.
It continually amazes me that you pay WAY more attention to what’s going on in my country than I do.
Maybe I should read the news more often. Or ever.
I just take an interest in it. I also like contests. It’s fun for me.
Eh, I never voted. If the guy you voted for gets elected and then fucks up, people are gonna blame those who voted for him. So I’m not voting and I’m going to be blame free for this erection!….. I mean erection. DAMMIT!
And then there was one!!
It would have been fun to see them duke it out Thunderdome style.
Hahaha. Well see it had a happy ending! Yaaaaaay. 😀
OOOOOOOBAMA MUTHA FUCKAAAAAAAAS!
He bangs moms???
All the moms, because that’s the american way.
I had this image of Obama on the corner in a pimp outfit with Liberty, America, and Justice doing the walk of shame.
And I just couldn’t find a cleaver write in while at the booth. I was going to vote for “the winner”… Come 2016 I think I may have an idea who I’m voting for.
Should have put “the Underdog”
That also occurred to me, but I had a write in ballot about 4 years ago that went viral for about 15 minutes. Google Lizard people ballot…
who would you have voted for?
I would have wrote myself in.
All hail president ARG!
A canadian for Muricah.
Sounds legit
“It’s all good ,eh. Have a doobie.”
For what it’s worth, thanks for caring more than many who actually voted did.
Social networking, even more so with this election, has made me realize how much to rest of the world pays attention when we vote on one thing. Honestly, it scares me a little.
Don’t worry man, me and my parents were doing the exact same thing waiting for the votes to tally. If this presidential election thing is stressful for us, I’d hate to have to be a person watching from another country.
Wooooooh! Four more years….with hopefully less nonsense from Congress! Wooo!
we all know that unfortunately won’t be true….. stoopid congress….
No denying there’s some healing to be had.
It looks like he is watching a horror movie.
A horror movie where a bunch of dumb f@cks don’t notice obvious villains (if it was a legitimate rape you won’t get pregnant), are oblivious to obvious things, do stupid things over and over that worsen their situation, and in the end their stupid actions get them killed.
At least this time it is like Cabin in the Woods, where the good guys survive (Right? I never saw the end of that movie)
With a poster like that, I’d vote for you ARG.
Thanks Kouk, it’s people like you that make this internet great.
Damm, i did the same thing, and like you, i have so stake in the US elections. Good thing it had a happy end thought.
I definately think things would be more interesting if ARG was President, as long as they don’t let him near the big red button!
It’s soooooo shiny. I want to press it.
2016 will be the first election I will be able to vote it, and I will proudly scribble out the real candidates name and write down ARG!
I can hear your campaign motto now
“I CAN HAS DICKS!”
“Thanks for the suspence America.”
You’re welcome. 😉
In germany a survey resulted a win for Obama with 95% of the votes.
Sooo we clearly knew it before ^^
I hope it worked, am i still a woman?
I’m cool with it now.
I may have fixed it.
Ah well, both candidates were shit. We’re probably in too deep a hole now to really get out.
You have my vote.
‘Murica, fuck yeah.
I vote for you, ARG.
Repeatedly…
Refreshing, then using another person’s ID…
Then realizing i fell asleep and dreamed i had the mental capability needed to do such things.
Sadly the weed law here in Colorado is still a pretty thin line between legal and. Lots of holes in the law that make it hard to really use it in recreation. While it is a step in the right direction, its a termite infested, not gonna let your fat sister in-law step on it kinda of step.
If more people understood the difference between marijuana and hemp, it’s likely it would be easily legalized.
However, after its demonization several years ago by companies losing profit to it, it still hasn’t recovered, since most people automatically assume marijuana is hemp.
Also, since you missed it in your post, we also have our first openly bisexual and openly atheist woman in congress in Arizona, Kyrsten Sinema.
I feel the same way dude. I was up all night listening to that coverage and standing on the edge of my seat, even though it has no effect on me what so ever.
Side note: Another big victory for women is that at least this government won’t be trying to fiddle around with their cooch.
Yes, a great contrast to the Clinton years…
I’d vote for ya.
