Propaganda!
I'm 20, so this is my first time voting. I already voted. It's not like there's even a choice given how insane the Republican Party has become. So what did you think of the first debate? I actually thought Obama did pretty good (but I'm alone in this apparently). He at least tried to call out Romney's BS about his tax plan and highlighted the fact that he won't accept $1 in taxes for the wealthy per $10 in spending cuts. Without a balanced approach we're fucked. The best parts were when Romney used that nazi line about repeating a lie that clearly applies to his campaign more than Obama's. Remember "our campaign will not be dictated by fact checkers"? Another great part was when Romney said we need to repeal the Dodd-Frank bill, which was a toothless bill meant to prevent another financial disaster. We need more regulation not less! The scary thing is some people actually seem to buy this shit because the polls have shifted slightly in states like Florida and North Carolina towards Romney, giving Obama a smaller lead in estimated electoral votes. I guess Obama will have to be more aggressive in the next debate because the facts don't seem to matter, only how you convey your message.
