Election poll....
General Talk
I am a canadian, and can honestly say I find myself talking more about American politics than our own countries. Why? Because every party here is basically the same - sure, Stephen Harper has kinda effed us over lately, but he'll likely be voted out by a big liberal overhaul led by Justin Trudeau. Anyways. American politics affects us big time in so many ways, and it terrifies and frustrutes me to see americans fighting for things that we have had for years. Healthcare? I pay $130 a month (for a family of 3) and i'm covered for everything. Sure, sometimes hospital waits suck, but theres always private clinics. Abortion laws? Apparently you can get an abortion up to term here in Canada, and while I don't necessarily believe that to be right, its not my baby, and not my decision. I find american politics so polarized, so full of lies, and watching fox news is so terrifying full of garbage and things that aren't important...yikes. I wish you guys had a third option. Someone who cared about real issues. Someone who cares that the oil off the gulf of mexico is still leaking and no one at BP has lost their job. Someone who cares about the fact that as a society, we depend on each other, homeless or rich, to succeed. Only by bringing each other up can we hope to get through another century without a major empire collapse. I pray that Obama is voted in, because without him, this continent is going to hell in a fiscal, war-torn handbasket. At least he is a puppet with a brain.
