Who did you vote for or support for the last U.S. Presidential election? Just as a survey.

I voted for Luigi Pizzaroni

Who did you vote for or support for the last U.S. Presidential election? Just as a survey.
I cannot yet vote, but I supported Kerry merely due to anti-Bushism. I would have either voted for Kerry or a libertarian candidate.

Another US centric poll with no options for non-USians. :rolleyes:

Boo-urns!

That's because it's concerning US citizens Fass. Don't bomb this like you bombed the Johnny Carson RIP thread.

We aren't USAians.
We are USAliens.
:p

Can't vote, but I supported Bush.

Oh, yeah, another mind numbingly US centric thread posted just before European daytime started where it was assumed everyone on this forum was USian.

Really, a simple poll option to the effect of "I wasn't eligible to vote" is not a lot to ask for, and not that harsh a criticism. Especially given the time of this thread's posting.

So the threadstarter wanted to ask a question of Americans. Why is that wrong? Don't answer the poll if you're not American. It's pretty simple.

Are we not allowed to have US centric threads? After all, the region with the largest population of NSer's is the US. I'd say that it's perfectly acceptable. The thread is tailored to a specific segment, if you want to go start a thread for Europeans about who they supported in the US elections, more power to you, but don't complain here.

It also happens to be the major time that Americans happen to be on their computers, be it 11:00 EST or 7:00 out west.

Don't go whining "Mommy, they didn't let me play with them, make them let me play with them."

Can I make a serious point here. We, non Americans may be interested in the outcome of the poll. Having an option that allowed us to indicate that we could not vote, would allow us to check on the poll with ease, and without distorting the figures. I am not complaining about the subject being USA centric. It would just have been sensible to include an option of Could not vote.

Not of voting age but I supported the Libertarian Party candidates: Michael Badnarik and Richard Campagna

You really think no non-USians are going to vote in this poll, making it completely pointless?

And it also happens to be that in Asia and Australia.

Take a chill pill, really. I have all the right to criticise a poorly executed poll which will be rendered pointless by its inadequacy. It's not an attack on the US, so you can put your little complex aside.

The point of the poll is it's target population. There will be irregularities, but I'm willing to accept them, and the fact that they won't invalidate the poll.

perhaps I should have said PM.

It's more than just this thread man, it's your utterly contemptible behavior on the Johnny Carson thread, and your utter inability to comprehend that peopled design threads tailored to a specific population, even though this is an international forum. You are the one who needs to lay off on the general attitude.

If you aren't from the US, then read, and comment, but you don't need to be able to vote in every poll. I don't vote in every poll. In polls desigend from Brits, say about which party people are going to vote for, I make observations, but I don't vote in the poll. You can act the same.

Oh, but they invalidate the poll. Especially since it's a closed poll with no way of seeing who voted for what.

It's probably your utter inability to stomach valid criticism that would need tuning. (See how that is as inaccurate a description of you as yours was of me?)

Or, better yet, I can try to change attitudes which I think need changing. Expecially since it is so easy for people to start thinking that there are other countries than their own out there. People on most other continents manage to - North America should cope just fine.

The point is the poll is targeted. If someone who doesn't vote in the election voted in the poll too bad. These things aren't scientific.

Sorry, I was wrong.

Fine, I need to chill, but, dude, come one, lay off on bombing region-specific threads. It's not harming anybody.

I cope fine realizing that there are other countries and continents. I've always known that. I think that you need to chill out when people make regional centric things like this. I have never complained when someone has made a Europe centric poll, or an Asia centric poll.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to target a poll audience without specifically saying who can't vote in the poll. The poll is targeted.

I am saying that it's perfectly reasonable for people to focus on their own region on an open forum. If they want to focus internationally, fine. But you shouldn't complain like you are.

Besides that, most NS general forumites are fairly internationally conscious. This is the wrong place to spread the message.

Boo-ush
Remember Defensor Fidei? He once actually called Bush, "Boosch".

Do you have to respond in every thread? Must every poll include and option for you?

I voted for Kerry, as the lesser of two evils. Ordinarily I wouldn't have done so, as making a statement would seem more important to me than this, but I wanted to try and keep Bush from winning another term, and thus being able to do anything without accountability from the voters. Of course, there's always impeachment, and while I have my fingers crossed, I can't exactly count on it.

Seems to me there is an option for non-Americans in this poll. The question is who did you vote for or support? I'm British, I supported Kerry. There we go.

I am gonna say somehting here about the last presidential elections.

They need to stop doing exit polls. It just makes people angry when they don;t get a good crossection and get more for one cantidate and not for the other. It fuels conspircy theorists. Maybe we republicans just dont want to talk about our voting habits. I think it is okay to anonymously do it (as i did here) but when someoen comes up and asks me "who did you vote for?" i am more likely to tell them to stick it where the sun don;t shine than to tell them who i voted for.

There is a View Poll Results link to the right beneath the box with the poll choices. Click that and you don't have to vote to see what everyone else did.

My complete perception of reality has allowed me to entirely revolutionize it to the point of exhilerating excellence. I demeand thee to gaze beyond the mists of mortal ambiguity into the clear shining of the sun of eternal honesty.

Okay.

Do we have to have another one of these threads?

Anyway, I supported Bush

who I voted for in any election future or past is my own business... and who you voted for in any election is yours. so I will give the same answer I give any exit pollster.

I voted for Spongebob and his running mate, Patrick.

Good! Don't count on it because Bush did nothing that deserves Impeachment. Thanks for voting though!

Fass--That was my Johnny Carson thread! You also seem to have an egotistical attitude about you. Not everything should be Euro-centric.

Alien-Born, I agree that option of Cannot vote probbaly would've helped the thread.

I supported Kerry, but unfortunately I couldn't vote.

Good! Don't count on it because Bush did nothing that deserves Impeachment.
*coughs*

So is this supposed to turn into a Bush bashing thread with people defending him? Or is it a poll someone made out of some strange curiousity they had? I think it's the second one, so I'm not going to go on a rant about Bush.

That wasn't my intention Lakjsd! It is the second option but someone mentioned impeachment and well.....

Got carried away. My apologies.

she got a point

You are right. I will not flame or anything like that. But don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Fass, I checked your postings in your archive. All you do is post negative comments. Report stuff to the mods which most of it is ridiculous. So take some time and write something good for once.

I was for Kerry between Bush and him, but for Walt Brown when you include everyone.
