Holy shit. You just keep getting more and more ignorant with every post.
I don't even want to adress you because it's obvious you have no clue what the fuck you're talking about NOR would care to learn. Go read a book. You're a fucking moron.

1. nice job taking it out of context
2. how is it a perfect democracy, when EVERY vote for parties that are not one of the 2 main parties is practically a waste. further, how is it a perfect democratic system, when a candidate that has about 500 votes less in florida, doesnt get ANYTHING. and also, how is it a really good democratic system when certain states ALWAYS give electoral votes to a certain party. if you live in Kansas being a democrat for instance, well, then you aint got to say anything cause all the electoral votes of Kansas will go to the republicans anyfuckingway. your vote is just symbolic and doesnt do the slightest change.

I didn't say your degrading democracy if you don't vote George Bush. If I were in America, I'd likely vote for Michael Badnarik (spelling might be off).

well the difference is that voting for Michael Badnarik won't change anything anywhere.
voting for Kerry, you have a good chance of contributing to a change.
with the system there is in the US, I dont see why people waste their precious votes on a candidate that has absolutely no chance of getting the majority in the respective state, yet winning the entire election.

I never said that the US isnt a democracy.
It's less democratic than other democracies. Hands down.
