YES! I knew I wasn't the only one who was annoyed on this poll.
Socialistic here. Then, Socialism have a bigger influence in Europa apparently. The biggest party in Swedish is "Social Democrats". 
And eh, I really don't like the US election system. I would like to see more diversion, so actually voting on a third party isn't throwing away your vote. ~_~
Weeeeeeeeeeee Socialism!!!!!!!!!!!!
My history teacher gets pissed at that. |

Severely? How do you figure? 
Let me put it this way, for everyone who voted independant, those were votes taken away from Bush's opponent. That's bad, assuming you don't like Bush that is.
Problem is you don't vote against someone, you vote for someone. How's about a little instant-runoff voting for the US?
That's how it should be anyway. |

Point taken, but I strongly disagree with Democrats and Rpublicans on pretty much everything. More so Republicans, though. |

Kerry wasn\'t much different from Bush. Arabs will still get shot, people will still be poor and the rich will get richer. I don\'t support that in any form. |

Of course there are more ways, but I\'m not going to severely compromise my views to be on a winning side.
Also, how come / get added between every contraction? |

Seems pretty pointless to me. It\'s not like the whole word is watching who you vote for. There\'s more effective ways to you get your views across instead of voting for someone who has no chance of winning. |

Good point, but I\\\'m never voting Republican or Democrat.
Well, until we get a new system (if ever), then enjoy throwing your vote away.
I don\'t consider it throwing away my vote; Neither the Democratic or Republican parties represent my views, so I wouldn\'t get my democratic representation from voting for them, even if they win. Voting isn\'t about picking the winner, it\'s about trying to get your views represented. |

Liberal Independent, but it seems like the Democratic Party has been making an assload more sense than the Republicans recently. |

I'm not old enough to vote now, but when I am, I'll be voting for who I agree with more. Not to say that they both won't suck, but we can't have everything in life. 
People that stick to their side, whether or not their nominee sucks ass or not, piss me off. WHO WOULD VOTE FOR BUSH. |

I'm with Dracoon and Leg on this one. Anyone who votes a straight ticket every election without thinking about the candidates in question is a moron. Then again, candidate's personal views don't always matter given that there's usually political pressure from their party to go with the flow, it seems. And of course, I guess they want to get re-elected too. Ack, we need a Jewish president  |

I'm a mix between a democratic socialist and a social democrat. I'd vote Green Party of the USA had I been American, though. Democrats and Republicans are not for me.
Inde-fucking-pendent. I'm not in a party and I don't think a certain way of any party. So, I guess as Legion said, I'll vote for who will do the best... or you know, the one that isn't the worst. |
