The discussion emphasizes the importance of voting in a democratic society, urging individuals to participate in elections despite feelings of disillusionment with the political system. Participants express frustration with the perceived corruption and lack of genuine choices among candidates, particularly focusing on the presidential race between Bush and Kerry. There are arguments made for the necessity of voting, even if one does not support the main candidates, as local and state issues also appear on ballots. The conversation highlights the idea that abstaining from voting undermines the ability to criticize elected officials. Some participants suggest that engaging with local politics and supporting third-party candidates could lead to meaningful change. The thread also touches on the logistical aspects of voting, such as long lines and varying polling hours across states, and concludes with reflections on the election results and their implications for American democracy.

I'm sad :(.
Nobody has said nothing about my elaborate USA flag of the first page.
Anyway. Now we know almost the Republicans have won this elections, we want to congratulate them all, and the Democrats too. So equalled figures represents a democratic country, where no candidate has his victory assured until the last vote.
From Europe (except Great Britain and Russia) this result is viewed with scepticism. A lot of people doesn't believe americans voted Bush again in spite of "the problems" which he has been involved into. Many european governments (included the spanish one) will have to do the effort of telephoning Bush to congratulate him.
