I'm young, poor, female, gay, and a college student, meaning Romney hates me with a passion. I'd rather vote for the guy who, at the very least, is willing to consider that I'm not automatically evil.<br /><br />I voted, I got a refill on some medication (and talked politics with a friend who is apparently a Republican...I've gotten to a state where I'm not going to rant my view and knock down someone else's, because for one thing, their view is likely based on religion, and telling them their religion is wrong could take a long time. And second, because I feel someone will listen more if I quietly state things, rather than screaming them and not listening to any other view point. Everything is an opportunity, like an ad in the car while that friend was driving me home...it pointed out that Obama trusts a woman's right to choose, and my friend got very angry, and I pointed out how yes, isn't it awful how one side believes that if a woman is given the right to choose, we'll run around like horrible heathen women, murdering small children because we all hate babies?)<br />Then I got home and went to sleep. I'm not going to sit through the "this state, that state, this many reporting" stuff. So I found out Obama had won when I went to my school library at 6am to buy a soda. It was funny, the cleaning people were getting started and someone had printed off pictures of Romney/Ryan buttons that said "Obamanomics sucks" and left them on all the tables. The cleaning people saw them and one asked if I wanted them and I very quickly said "No thanks!" and she said something along the lines of "Well then we'll put them right where they belong"...trash can.Erinnoreply@blogger.com
