I didn't vote, so I don't think it's fair for me to pick sides, so I'll try not to. That's kind of how I feel, that they deserve a chance. All candidates, regardless of what they're running for, have said controversial things to be elected, but I don't think those are very often followed through with. In addition, by law, Clinton shouldn't have even been running because she was under investigation, regardless of whether or not the allegations were true which in this case happened to be true.

 

That's the understatement of the century.

 

What about the other 0.3%? That only adds up to 99.7%. xD

 

WHO ELSE BUT AMAURY

 

Those mark the other third party votes.

There's no good or nice way to say it, the ones responsible are those who refused to vote. By deciding to do nothing, it put us in a mess. I don't blame people who voted third party out of conscious or protest. Hell, I can't even be mad at those who put in Hamambe as a joke or act of protest. Because they ar least made their voice heard. Even a dumb vote in protest says "I reject the two party system that put these two idiots at the top of the ticket". This is just outrageous, regardless of whoever won.

/soapbox

 

thats kinda disgusting that the didnt vote number is that high. its not at all surprising. but jeez

 

You know, if they didn't vote out of protest, "46%" is a number that makes a pretty big argument. Much more than the 14k (not even the size of a county) who voted for a dead gorilla. People who didn't vote do not make up people who would've voted against Trump. For all you know, they would've voted 100% for Trump and it would've been a landslide.

The results are the results. Period. There is no "blame."

It'll suck, sure, and I wish more people felt compelled to vote, but acting like they actively hurt you is a lot different.

 

The word going around that the dead gorilla got 15K votes started on a satirical news site (http://dailysnark.com/harambe-dead-gorilla-got-11000-votes-president-unites-states/). I'm sure people did vote for him, but I don't know to what degree, so I guess the point is moot.

Your right, it'll suck, and I've seen this take a hit on people's mental health. My campus for the past two days feels like a funeral home. For me, I'd be more open to accepting the outcome of the "didn't vote" percentage was much smaller.

 

But like I said, you don't know which way they didn't vote or why they didn't vote. Maybe this speaks to a different issue and shouldn't be "My candidate didn't win thus I blame Schrodinger's voters."

 

I can because don't fucking take the leader of a country as a time to throw your dank memes into the mix of who is considered the leader of the free world, true statement or not.

It's perfectly in their rights to vote in a dead gorilla and it's perfectly in my rights to call those people fucking idiots.

 

I mean, related

 

Regardless of the number, or if it is counted, it's, to me, incredibly stupid to do (and perfectly in their right)

 

Is the pin a preorder item or do you get it if stock isn't out?

 

I'm gonna fight everyone who got Sun and Moon today
Darn you all to heck, non-Europeans

 

Ah, I totally forgot about that! Damn, and I was just at my store. :\

 

♛ We didn't pre-order and they still gave us a poster because we bought both copies.

♛ Also, you can get Munchlax even without pre-ordering. Just go to Mystery Gift.

 

Hey, I'm back. What's up?

Also, to everyone who already played it, how is Pokemon Sun and Moon? Since it's almost Christmas time I plan to buy either or between the two games since my two young cousins recently became Pokemon fans due to:

A. The whole craze for Pokemon GO a few months back; And
B. I got them to play Pokemon Emerald and FireRed and they were so addicted to it that they finished it in under two weeks. (For each game)
