It's that time of the year. As the US election inches closer people begin to think more and more about politics. I overheard a conversation a few days ago that made me think that perhaps I should post this. The conversation went something like this:
Woman: What's a swing voter?
(explanation: the TV had a statement on it asking whether Palin could capture swing voters)
Man: It's someone who doesn't always vote Democrat or Republican
Woman: ?
Man: You know, just because someone is a Republican, they don't have to vote for a Republican candidate.
Woman: Really?
...
It went on, but that was the gist of it. I would like to make sure that all of our supporters know that the beauty of democracy is that we, the people, get to choose who our leaders are. The two-party system prevalent in US politics is not enshrined in the Constitution, and people, regardless of their party of choice, are welcome to vote for anyone.
The real question is why anyone would want to vote for anyone but the GNU Public Dictatorship?
