What if?
Unfortunately there is no way to prove this, but:
What if every american citizen who can be/is eligible to vote - actually voted?
Basically every adult from 18 to not dead yet.... I really wonder how that would go?
We all seem to think generally that the country claims to be 40% Dem, 40% Rep, and 20% indy, but I would think that there is no way a national presidential election would churn out those results. We would be talking about 250M or so votes?
Thoughts?

RE: What if?
I think it would be closer to 30% D, 30% R and 40% forced to settle one way or the other more often than not.

RE: What if?
There are a lot of people that should not be voting, so I hope that never happens. I'm not talking about liberals, I'm talking about people that would be lucky to name 15 states, their own senators, and 10 foreign countries. There are a bunch of morons out there who double up by being totally uninformed.

I am not suggesting it should happen, I just wonder what would happen if it did.
And there are many people out there who are pretty smart but uninformed as well. Like anything else, the people who make the most noise are the only ones you hear from and about. There are a lot of smart people who choose not to pay attention because it is beyond tiring not to mention kind of futile. They probably tend to vote on Blue Red [when they vote] as opposed to the lightning rod issues of current elections.

if today's dippo = smart?! I simply defer to sig line 1b)
if a con or 3rd party candidate?, it becomes sig line 1c)
in other terms, there was never an 'out'....playing to the grave is the purest definition of capitalism.....
welcome to the real fk'n world....
