  1. It's so cute seeing all you first time voters so excited! Still believing they make a difference

    1. @ceruleanspark Just wait until they get called up for jury duty.

      1. @rotation Ugh, jury duty is horrible. I'm not at all comfortable with having a 1/12th deciding factor in someone's future, at least not with the surprisingly lacking evidence levels in the two trials I was on the jury of.

    2. @ceruleanspark When I can vote, I'm just going to vote blank so I'll be able to whine about everything without anyone being like "hey, you didn't vote, so you have no right to complain!"

      1. @flaxx Last election, I drew a crude bananas on the ballot paper. Does that count?

        1. @rotation That doesn't really narrow down which candidate you picked.

          1. @bitshift It was Scottish Parliament. No-one cares.

        2. @rotation Isn't it kind of mean to make them guess who you were voting for?

          Thursday, 03-May-12 17:29:11 UTC from web
          1. @flaxx It's called 'spoiling the ballot'. It voids the vote.

            1. @rotation I was kind of making a joke about all the politicians being dicks.

              1. @flaxx @bitshift beat you to it though.

                1. @rotation You are the most geniusest.

    3. @ceruleanspark Speaking of which, I'm off to go proverbially urinate in the proverbial sea of urine (or vote, if you prefer such a boring term for it).

    4. @ceruleanspark Depends on the voting system in use. As it's most likely FPTP, it can probably be assumed to be largely meaningless.

      1. @toksyuryel It is FPTP. We had a campaign to change it but it was of course, hijacked by vested interests who stood to lose should an alternative system be implemented.
