      <![CDATA[@53: Excuse YOU---I AM living in the real world here, doofus. Are you pissed off because the Democrats swept Washington State and the U.S. this election--AGAIN? What a relief in contrast to the devastation that could have happened with  Call it what you want, but the truth is about voter suppression in swing states like Florida---when Jed Bush (remember HIM?) was Governor there, remember---and DON'T act like 'so what"? Remember hanging chads? <br />
In this general election, Repigs tried to suppress votes by only allowing polls to be open during certain times of the weekdays---yep, you guessed it---working class business hours! So that theoretically many registered, legitimate voters WOULDN'T make it on time to the polls.<br />
Al Gore should have been our president in the 2000 election, and won by the popular vote. It's a shame he didn't get properly elected. Climate change and the very real threat of global warming wouldn't be such an overwhelming problem now.<br />
It is a damned GOOD thing that President Barack Obama get re-elected! It will take him at least two terms to clean up the damage left by DUBYA.<br />
<br />
Go back to your Dumbney cave and stay there. You're the one living in a fantasy land.

      <![CDATA[Well, maybe not voting for a Obama was not about gay marriage. Washington passed that measure not Obama. <br />
<br />
I feel the drone attacks, wire-taps, guantanamo, libya and syria, etc. are to much and did not warrant my vote. Yes he did some great things, healthcare reform, equality for marriage, getting out of Iraq.<br />
<br />
I felt Gary Johnson was the best chance for US, but the best part about living in WA and IL is I have and had the luxury of voting for who I want because those states always go blue.<br />

      <![CDATA[Since voters in Washington state delivered their electoral votes to Barack Obama (WA overwhelmingly voted for Obama and governor Christine Gregoire campaigned time and again for the president), if Barack Obama's Justice Department -- led by Eric Holder -- cracks down on Washington state's new marijuana law ... why would that not be viewed as a betrayal towards those that largely supported the president in two elections?? I think The Stranger needs to try and interview someone, anyone, in the Justice Department and bring up that very point. I think if the JD does NOT allow WA to make its own decisions regarding pot, it would most certainly be a betrayal ... at least to my own way of thinking.

No, it's not. For most of us it's a strong point of pride. A few precise strikes and we've managed to do what 8 years of Dubya/Cheney and 5000 dead soldiers couldn't.

      <![CDATA[@4: But they do have staffers who aggregate the feedback they get on various sides of proposed and extant legislation. Sometimes it doesn't matter because it's a matter of personal or 'necessary' party ideology, but a strong showing for one side or other of an issue can get a politician thinking about that 1% of the vote ze might need next election cycle, and especially for issues that don't break neatly down party lines (school privatization programs, for example).

      <![CDATA[I've had this question for a decade or two now: can someone explain why any Stranger writer discussing details of our voting system and third parties with a level of sophistication beyond that of a sixth grader is obviously subject to severe threat of being fired or never being published in this city again?<br />
<br />
Especially when these same writers repeatedly write lovely articles with analyses and opinions that even an R-rated audience might have to think twice about.<br />
<br />
For example why it is forbidden to write something as basic as: because Washington state is guaranteed to vote for Obama and therefore your vote for president has no effect on who is actually elected, you might as well turn your vote into a suggestion for moving politics a bit to the left or even just an expression of a desire for a more representative voting system like plenty of other countries have - and then thoroughly enjoy celebrating Obama's victory later that night with no hypocrisy whatsoever.
