Dru is still bitter from when the patricians lost some power to the plebs in early Rome.
No it's not great.
If the pirate party gets anywhere close to those numbers for the next nationwide election it will destroy any chance of a coalition of left leaning parties that are actually capable of running the country.
Which leaves us with a Merkel lead "great" coalition.
And that would be shitty.
but i havent got the slightest clue as to the political goings on of other countries, and i would say most people in the US are the same way
dru is still bitter about the switch from hieroglyphic to hellenic text

You wanna hear a funny story about German politics?
A few years ago out supreme court ruled parts of our voting law unconstitutional and ordered the government to craft a new one.
So being a bunch of sleazy partisan hacks our current coalition set out to craft a new law that specifically favors their parties.
But because they are incompetent hacks the new law was again found unconstitutional and struck down by the supreme court.
Which means that Germany currently has no voting law for the election next year.

The pirate party is no way near ready to actively participate in the government.
A minority coalition that is being tolerated by the pirate party might be possible is some bundesländer.
But on a national scale? No way.
That seems mostly true in the US, too, though ours may be way more political than yours
It took the greens from 1980 until 1998 to get into a national coalition. 18 years they used to gather experience in the opposition and state governments.
They wouldn't have been ready after 4 years either.

I live for most of the year in the UK, but I am registered to vote in North Carolina. How do I go about getting an absentee ballot? Do I have to go find the consulate?

Isn't there just some url I can type in and click a box? That seems simple enough.
This is the dumbest election ever.
Short answer: Because they don't know what they're talking about.
Longer answer: the logic goes like this: Christians should give to charity; Welfare is mandatory charity; therefore, Welfare is the government taking upon itself responsibilties that rightfully belong to the church. additionally, giving to charity should be a voluntary act, because giving of your own volition enriches your soul, therefore Welfare takes away some incentive to give to charity.
Note that none of this is actually based on scripture, but rather the logic of evangelical conservatism.
There's always next election. Especially if Romney fails, that'd drive the GOP further rightward politically.
A guy also told me that Jesus wasn't a fan of social justice, that we shouldn't meddle with the systems of government even if they're ultimately oppressive and stuff like that. That's some good medieval divine right type shit right there.
It's the American way™
You're forgetting that a lot of people HATE Obama from all sides of the political spectrum.
Romney has a good chance of winning this election.
That makes it a damn good chance. This thing hasn't even gotten started yet.
And in 2016, the fact that it's gonna be a white male again is gonna be just as much of a detriment to the the democrats as it is to the republicans.
Yeah, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Jesus did teach to be good citizens of the state, and Paul expanded on that to endure oppression with grace, but of course the huge difference between then and now is that first century Christians had no hope of representation in the government. Nowhere in scripture does it say that social programs are bad, even indirectly.
Hillary will be the nominee if she decides to run, other than that, Elizabeth Warren is the new star of the party.
but people like his running mate.
and it doesn't matter that people like him, there are people who just despise obama and who want to see terrible things happen to him. they will vote for romney no matter what.
