yall. I’m not sure if I should vote. Ppl tell me that it’s ‘rlly important’, but I just feel like my personal life won’t be that different if George W. Bush isn’t re-elected. Not sure who this ‘new guy in town’ is, but have heard rumors he is a terrorist/a member of the Bin Laden family.
Kinda need 2 wikipedia these candidate guys 2 ’see what’s up’.
Why r people trying to get the George Bush out of the office? Nvr rlly did n e thing 2 me. Seemed like a chillBro.
I don’t rlly watch TV, so I haven’t followed the election 2 well except for memes about that MilfLady.
Has n e 1 heard rumors that if u don’t vote, u will automatically die/be executed?
“Come With Me” -puff daddie
“I’ll be missin yall.” -Sting ft. P Diddy
Don’t rlly understand why celebs think they have 2 ‘tell people 2 vote’. not rlly their jobs. Kinda wish they’d leave us alone and let us tug offin front of our computer screens. Kinda feel like they are ‘making the election less authentic’ by trying to tie themselves to some sort of blog buzz marketing gimmick. There need 2 be laws/regulations about celebs who are ‘using’ the election just 2 make themselves seem ‘more connected’ to ‘our world’ and ‘you.’
Should I start 2 believe in G0d in order to have him help guide my vote?
Should I get involved on my college campus’s Young Democrats organization? Will I meet people with similar interests as me? Will we ‘get buzzed’ and ‘partie’ but also talk about important issues?
Voting makes me feel (more/less) authentic.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) unique.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) alt.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) mainstream.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) in control of our country’s future.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) ‘connected’ with what ‘the common man’ cares about.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a fggt.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like an old person.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like an internet user.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a bitter political science professor.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a ‘political blogger.’
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a person who ‘laughs rlly loud’ at Saturday Night Live sketches because they ‘get’ the world.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) pressured to find Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impression 2 be ’s00 funnie.’
Voting makes me feel (more/less) comfortable with the direction of the world.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) human after yall.
Should I ‘vote’?
Does n e 1 know a website that has ‘the issues’ posted?
Can people still make zany internet memes abt the candidates even after the election is ovr?

crls – happy to hear you feel the same way i do. voting is for fggts/mnstrs. So glad you didn’t go to college and try to “get” the issues. Or “feel really connected” to a candidate.
why is every1 so upset w/ the Ws y’all. while the Ws was president, the electrowar started (sad but necessary) and we got SoMe srs Ed Banger hits – JUSTICE !
damn, i hate ppl who vote and then try to tell us that we “don’t get it” and “this post sux” and “you need to really vote”
LOL @ those ppl. so inauthentic – chose.your.own.response.

One vote makes an infinitesimal amount of difference. That’s just a mathematical inevitability. The number of voters in the 2000 national election was over 104 million; therefore a single vote counted about 0.0000000096%.
Given that, taking time out of your day to vote is a profoundly irrational thing to do. People stood in line in the 2004 national elections often for as long as 5 hours to cast their votes. Assume that their time was worth approximately $20/hour (a value reasonably close to the 2004 US median income). That means that each person stuck in line for 5 hours spent around $100 to cast a vote that made, effectively, zero difference in the outcome of the election. The opportunity cost is obviously far too high for a rational person to waste his time with such a process. This remains true even if your time is only worth $1 per hour!
Most people are less profligate about the lottery! Very few are crazy enough to spend $100 on lottery tickets, even when the potential winnings are in the hundreds of millions of dollars—interestingly, such a strategy, it could be argued, might actually be smarter in the lottery’s case, because each additional dollar you spend increases your odds of winning. With voting, on the other hand, each additional minute in line is entirely additional, uncompensated, cost.
