@widget If you're talking about the polls saying that it's unpopular, I can tell you those are misleading. When questioned about the several parts of the bill separately, the bill is actually quite popular.
-
@hakupony Actually, not all Western democracies have first-past-the-post elections (Single-member district plurality elections). Germany and the UK, in part, have closed list proportional representation elections.
-
@widget Rocky Anderson is running on the Justice Party platform. If he's on the ballot, I'm going to vote for him. He's a progressive from Utah.
-
@hakupony Well, in other Western democracies, they can. Like in Germany or France. But the UK and US do primarily have a two party system, which does suck.
-
@widget The Health Care/Obamacare debate. Specifically the Individual Mandate. That was originally a Republican idea (starting with Nixon, done by Romney in Mass., supported by Gingrich), but now that Obama has co-opted it, the Republicans rabidly want to repeal it. Fortunately they didn't get their way.
-
@widget Honestly, I'm voting neither for Obama nor Romney. I'm doing what is considered the "stupid thing" in American political culture: voting for a third party candidate. I know Romney's positions and think they're dangerous; I think Obama isn't nearly progressive enough to get this nation back into the right place; and I just don't think voting for Obama is what I'd like to do.
-
@hakupony Yes, you have to listen to both sides. But you also have to know what the facts and what the reality are. Sometimes reality reflects a certain side's position on policy or whatnot.
-
@toksyuryel Personally, I still watch the news, but I watch it online via The Young Turks. They're as neutral without sacrificing the facts as I've seen in the media.
-
@widget Well, Beck isn't even on Fox anymore. And O'Reilly is just a pinhead. I just can't watch Fox because I'm far too progressive to think that anything that they say makes any sense.
-
Excuse me... *its* DX
-
@toksyuryel They also have a robot. It's name is Wolf Blitzer.
-
@widget They're both atrocious. CNN could be considered worse because it just fails at making any concrete point at all. Fox is unabashed right-wing propaganda. CNN doesn't know what the f*** it is.
-
@mushi Twilight's perogative: world domination of the brony masses.
-
@bluetearainbowdash Fighting is Magic is going to take like... forever to actually be released though, isn't it?
-
@widget He's the one that actually got me into MLP.
-
@widget Yeah, and considering that I'm having trouble even finding part time work right now, I think it's probably better for me to wait until next year to try to go there. Plus, my best friend is planning on going next year too. So I'll probably pool the funds or whatever with him.
-
@widget I'm about 6 hours or so away without breaks. So it's a trip that I'd have to pour a lot of money into, plus the price of a ticket and hotel and whatnot. I just don't have the means right now.
-
@widget ._. Unfortunately, I'm not. I don't have the money or transportation to get there. I wish I could go, but I really can't.
-
@lyokotravels Nighty night. :3 Sleep tight.
-
@pony You speak truth, my friend. It is life. But the good news is that that might not be my whole day in reality. I might be able to go somewhere with my best friend later on, so it kind of evens out. :3
-
It's kind of sad that I'm most likely going to keep myself busy today by returning a book that I rented for my summer class and then going to OfficeMax to get some file folders and binder clips.
-
Oh and good morning everyone. :3
-
Welp, never went to sleep. Insomnia is quite a fickle one, isn't it?

Well, I'm going to go to bed everyone. Nighty night. :3
-
@crimsondragon Well, I do. But it has no vids. You don't have to sub.
-
@fluttershy1989 This is true. :3 And those boxsets are amazing.
-
@fluttershy1989 Hey. I know you. :3 In fact, I'm talking to you right now. X3
-
@cajunbrony23 Night, man. Get a good night's sleep.
-
@lyrica Nighty night! :3
-
@renovatedkitchen Exactly. Sometimes you just have to let everything out. It's called catharsis.
