I was listening to the radio a few days ago and the host was telling young voters that Romney took a position that Obama had and then would ask the voter what they thought. They all would go to great lengths to criticize the idea. Then after going through 3 or 4 ideas, he would let them know it was actually Obama that said what they were criticizing. It was funny listening to people backpedal.
To your point, it really does seem that a lot of people just endorse someone without any thought whatsoever. It seems a lot of people choose style over substance. I guess you can't blame us - $2B worth of marketing has an impact. We're suckers for good marketing
I voted for Johnson. If he gets 5% he gets equal debate and about 9 million for 2016. If he woulda got to 25% it would of been 90 million. Regardless, he won't be able to compete with the 1.6 billion arse #1 and arse #2 blew
I would have wrote in Ron Paul, but I don't think they count write ins here unless it impacts the outcome
Is that all he got? I thought he'd get at least 5%
im very jaded by American politics
He got 1.1M+ votes or 1%. It was the most ever for a Libertarian. And he's running again in 2016. Maybe he can keep it growing.
Something's gotta give. We may have witnessed the end of the R party in this election. Somehow they have to break away from the religious right trying to control social decisions of the party. I dont see how the Rs can be relevant to women/minorities/youth.
Given the current state of affairs, I wonder if any 3rd party can be successful without bending and becoming corrupt like the Ds and Rs? No one can be principled any longer. They've got to cater to voting blocks. And in general the American public has been dumbed down by sound bytes and marketing slogans.
