Yea, idk being in kansas is a little discouraging.
So red votes almost don't matter. But I can't complain about it if I don't do my part to change it.
Also, why can't you? felony?

State elections are the ones where the individuals votes actually matters.
But yea, i dunno. The whole felons not getting to vote is kind of stupid IMO. I mean, to say a citizens opinion no longer matters because of something they did wrong is stupid. Because you see, some people might view certain felonies as something that shouldn't be felonies.
All it does is lets the government oppress groups of people selectively (by creating laws that target a specific group) from having a say. Mainly I see this as a fucked up thing with Ms.Jane mostly, but I could see how it could be cross applied.

Our elections are meaningless. The January Citizens United Supreme court decision in January was the last nail in the coffin were our legislative process lies. Fuck i hate this country so much. I really would like to move north, if not for all my friends and family here. This will be the first time i haven't voted since turning 18.

To Canada? We have our fair share of problems here too, although on the whole more sane than America I think. Taxes are the biggest pain... anyone thinking of moving up be prepared to pay out the nose.

Yeah, I don't think I'd like Canada any better than the U.S. The USA has the right wing nut jobs and Canada has the left wing nut jobs and neither one really knows wtf they're doing. Lots of money goes missing in Canada just like everywhere else, and that makes the taxes hurt even worse. I'd try Germany or Scandinavia on for size, maybe New Zealand. Otherwise, Holland for the decriminalized drugs.

We have our fair share of right wing nut jobs too, just maybe not so so right. The thing I really hate about Canada and the US is just that, the political left vs. right mentality that never ends. I dont really care who is left or who is right, I just want a little fuckin common sense thats all.
Would live in Scandinavia for sure, Finland and Sweden sound like great places to live, although lots of taxes there too, but at least your going to be seeing the benefit for it.

This is my impression of Congress and all those commercials and all that bullshit:
Candidate A: "Candidate B is a jerk!"
Candidate B: "No, you're a jerk!"
Candidate A: "I know you are but what am I?"
It's all fuckin bullshit to me. I've voted before and do keep up with what's going on fairly well I guess I'd say, but as the days go by, it's just becoming more and more difficult to not laugh during campaign commercicals n shit. I actually do laugh, not chuckle, but laugh at that shit.
For example, earlier tonight, I believe it was the person who won the campaign in Kentucky giving his victory speech. It went along the lines of this, not ver batem, but pretty much. "When I get to Washington, I'm gonna respectfully ask them this. (Crowd cheers for a while) When I get to Washington, I'm gonna respectfully ask them this. (Crowd cheers for a while.) He went through that about 4 times or so. I mean, all they do is state general facts and people go nuts for them. Like during the campaigns, it's: " We needs more jobs." "My opposition is blah blah blah..." " Our economy is down." They just state general facts and people get behind them and it's a joke to watch.

Anarchy will always dissolve into some kind gang ruler ship though, it's not a permanent government solution.
