The people who voted in the Gropinator have just solidified Californians' reputation for being "fruits nuts and flakes" ( don't get on my case for saying that; I'm not only Californian by birth, I'm also gay, bipolar and have trouble making commitments -- a DU contributor.
This has been bothering me for several weeks. I always believed that the reason why more people don't vote in presidential elections is because both Democrat and Republican candidates are bearly distinguishable from each other (Carter/Ford, Clinton/Dole, Gore/Bush), but HOW IN THE HELL did a moral man like McGovern, who was probably the last liberal Democrat to run, lose so [GD] badly to Richard Nixon? I wasn't born until 1982, so I'm asking others: Weren't there enough Americans who cared about the direction the country was headed to get their ass out and vote?
I love it. :) This is along the lines of Pauline Kael saying nobody -she- knew voted for Reagan so how the hell did he get elected?
Some of these have to be put-ons. Nobody can be as dumb as they appear.
BTW, I hope this thread remains. There's nothing wrong with this post. It is revealing.
It's too good to be true. Dead giveaway! I bet it's one of ours trolling DU!
Gee, what a farked up individual
