2020 for me too.
If I had a 6 month earlier birthday it would be 2016.

Anybody gonna watch the debate tomorrow? I am at least going to watch some of it for sure.

Also, on the theme of watching things, did anyone see the National Conventions? I watched highlights of both-- they were pretty interesting.

I actually get to vote this year. That's exciting.

Totally, I'll be watching.

I have to watch it for an english assignment. I probably would have watched it anyways, but it's mandatory now.

Don't forget to vote in 2017, your votes for congress, state and national, still count!
Technically my birthday is only a month before the election, but iirc from my cousin (she's in college and had the same situation) if your birthday is before the general election you can still register to vote and participate in the primary.

thebriculator · 2012-10-02 23:32:40

Oh boy, I just realized I get to vote in 2016!

yayaya woohoo big_smile

ok so on another forum i go on, we had a thread about the election and we were using THIS POLL and i thought it was pretty cool to see people's results

if anyone cares, my results are here

another thing to note is that if you don't want people to know what state you live in, don't link to your results

I seem to support her as well.

It's goo to see that this thread is staying mostly civil... But everyone keeps seeming to fail to actually debate and instead tangentializes. tongue If you are a Republican, tell us WHY you support Mitt Romney, what it is about the Republican Party and its anti-regulation, low-tax, and, yes, socially conservative policies that appeals to you?
And I can't stress this enough. Cite it!

The difference between a cited argument and an uncited one is the difference between the scientist and the madman. When people can see that your argument is valid and backed up, they might pay attention to your otherwise defenseless and thus pointless rant.

And if you must know why I am a Democrat all the way...

The two presidents it fell under were Democrats. (You know, the big public spenders)

Probably never for me
Unless I decide to live in the US
But if we're talking UK elections 2018 unless the election's really early in the year

I don't really support either of the main candidates, but I probably lean a fair bit more towards Obama. I sort of think that how much money you earn is luck. It's almost all about influence. If you're parents aren't really bothered by your education then you won't be either. (and a usually good education > good job > more money) For example, my dad really wants me to do well in school, and I am doing fairly well. This isn't because I happened to be smart or anything, it's because my dad and sister help me and support me with it. Or another example, very rarely is there a really intelligent kid with a really intelligent sister.

So naturally I'm against private schools and for free healthcare. Private schools I dislike because it means: rich parents > private school > smart kids > kids get good job > become rich > repeat. Free hc I support since the idea that someone who was unfortunate and didn't get a good job and money shouldn't have to get worse healthcare.

And while I've honestly done very little research into the US PE, I'm pretty sure Obama is more similar to that.

You guys are eight hours ahead, add 8 hours to 6. You'll have to see if it's broadcasted to your local television stations.

Awww you're old enough to vote? I feel so young. It'll be 2020 before I can vote.
I feel so old. Yup, I turned 18 a few months ago.

I'm only 12 so yeah it'll be a while. But I do always vote on who I WOULD pick if I could vote, and this year, it's Mitt Romney.

CN12 · 2012-10-03 11:46:09

The media NEVER covers any mistake that the Democrats make, and yet, every stinking slip up that the Republicans make, the media makes it sound like the worlds going to end tomorrow or something.
