Tell me why I'm wrong
Not voting for Obama would be unconscionable because of who the right could potentially put on the supreme court, given its current composition.

why am i expected to believe that obama would be less likely to appoint judges that rule against civil liberties since he's already authorized the assassination of an american citizen without due process and many other examples of abuse and expansion of executive power?

Obvious valid criticism of Obama...
So you're saying there's not a big enough difference between Scalia/alito and Kagan/sotomayor to stop you from not voting or voting third party (of which there's currently no viable candidate). Not saying this is wrong just wanting some clarification. Last edited by TuralyonW3 : 04-08-2012 at 08:27 PM. |

i mean he just called out (rather weirdly, imo) the conservative justices on the court but yeah he'd probably just nominate another john roberts

if all the liberal justices were young and healthy then fine, whatever. but i don't know how many years rbg has left in her. it would be an absolute disaster if she died/retired with a republican in office.
just terrible. we'd be fucked. |

the continued expansion of executive power is a different (but still important) issue. we just can't afford to have a romney-nominated justice replace ginsburg. |

also, rather selfishly, there could be a number of decisions concerning the gays in the coming years.

It doesn't matter what your point of view is, Trots will bitch about it. Heck, if you put him on a message board with himself, he'd just attack his own posts and object to everything he says. Vote Obama, he attacks you. Vote Paul, he attacks you. Vote Romney, he attacks you. Don't take it personally, bros.

Well all those candidates do suck but the point is choosing the lesser evil to impact concrete, foreseeable decisions that will affect the future of our race, i.e. supreme court nominees, for the gays and other issues

There's no way you're going to guilt trip me out of this, abstaining from voting is accepted on the congress floor i don't know why you guys have to act like it's LIFE OR DEATH IF YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING
you have absolutely no control over this how are you not getting that |

Do what you want. It will be your fault when Eulogy can't visit his dying partner in the hospital.
