Totally off-topic poll

[Stormbinder]

I hope the Powers Above (Moderators) will be kind and will tolerate this small poll, despite it having nothing to do with Dominions2.

I would be really interested to check a theory of mine that I've developed recently, after reading several political polls and forums on the internet.


I wonder if there are more people among the internet Users who are more inclined to support democratic candidates, than whose who more inclined to support republican candidates, percentage-wise? The Last USA population data shows that Bush and Kerry are currently in the dead heat, 49% vs 49% according to Last polls. Therefore right now it would be an ideal conditions to check this small theory of mine and to see how this data would correlate with our own forum population.


Please only those who are USA citizens vote in this pole.

Please no offence to all other players, this restriction is purely due to specific political nature of this poll, otherwise the results will not be meaningfull. (And besides everybody knows that there is not much love lost between Bush administration and europeans ).

I refuse to sell out to the moron majority by voting between two awful options, so I'm going to vote independent. That isn't an option on the poll, though.

Yeap. Independent candidat is irrelevant to the purpose of this poll.

It would probably have been more "correct" putting it in the shrapnel.general forum and then posting here asking people to go vote.

I dont consider myself any party. I think moving any one direction for too long is dangerous. This time I would have voted independent but Im afraid that if I did Bush might win.

I agree 100% that both options are awful !

You're right. Both candidates are awful. Therefore, you should vote for the lesser of the two evils, so to speak.

Or I can refuse to compromise my principles and vote independent. Either way, my vote makes no difference, but I keep my dignity, and when it goes to hell, I can say, "I didn't vote for him."

And if enough people cared about dignity, honor, and integrity, we might actually win for a change.

I think this year is the first that I heard people say "its not that Im voting for anyone as much as Im voting against the other one"

I have an equal chance of voting for either, that is to say, I'm 14 and have a 0% chance of voting.

That's not news. I've had people tell me that every year, to vote for the one I hate least....but no! I have my dignity!
