The UNITED States of America?

[Poontos]

Do you have any hesitation today saying The UNITED States of America?

Is North America filled with two countries (U.S. & Canada, specifically) too large to support non-divided nations?

Canada, where I was born and live today, weathered an election this past June, where one can draw similarities with the sense of being divided. Although, our numbers were 36% and 29% between the two most popular parties.

Do you consider The United States of America a divided country? Since your election has concluded, you can't help but notice the diagram of the "Red" and "Blue" states representing Bush and Kerry state victories.

Would you feel comfortable with being the Command and Chief of your country if you only had support from half of the country?

Any idea where can I find stats on the level of education per capita in the states that voted for Bush versus Kerry?

Totally divided after this fvcking campaign. Religious/Conservative vs. Liberal....there is very little gray area anymore...very sad

Edit: on a side-note: is it "gray" or "grey"?

I voted for Kerry, but will support Bush. I can look past my own bias because he is my president, and I will support him. AS I've posted before, We are a country of ideas and principles, and it's heartwarming to know we can discuss this on an open forum, no matter how passionate each side is. We don't riot, we don't throw bombs. No matter how divided we seem, we are still more unified than ever, not as republicans or democrats, left or right, but as Americans.

I can respectfully disagree with my fellow citizens - and I respect their opinions, no matter how different from my own they are.

I'm just sad because The Daily Show probably won't be as funny for a while.

There are lots of "gray" areas. It's just that neither party represents it.

We need a third party.

And this should be in P&N btw.

What those "blue and red" state colors obscure is that there is a great deal of widespread distribution in the vote, with very few exceptions.

I wouldn't say that the US is a nation divided, in any respect, at all. As far as I am concerned the two candidates are far too thinly spread, the parties far too powerful for their own good.

Note: Voted for Kerry. And this should be in P&N

Now if only the rest of the country had this mindset.

Opps. I have been away from the forums for over a year. Hopefully it will get moved or continue to populate.

Why do you say that? They can still rip on Bush.

It's divided, but it's not evenly divided. There is a clear majority in this country now. That was made clear by the spanking the Dems took in the sentate, house, governor's races, presidency and popular vote yesterday.

We have a third party, and a fourth party, and independents. Unfortunately, most sheep refuse to vote for anything except the two big parties.

Most of us stand for a lot of the same things, we just have differing ideas about how to get there. This kind of freedom of thought is the founding principle on which our country was built. So, yeah, I'd say we're still the United States of America.

No possible chance to win unless millions changed their mind all at once...which is too unlikely. Damnit!! It's always going to be this way. *Packs up things, heads for Canada*

I don't understand why there can't be other democratic and republican parties? They can have different views than the current ones and may as well get more votes.

I understand. I just see a lot of division. If we were called The United Provinces of Canada, and we had the same election results, I would have a few concerns about our country's united-ness.

I tried to watch the live show yesterday, but it just wasn't that good. JS is at his best when he's ripping on both sided equally. In the last few weeks he really put himself on one side with his "please, not Bush" pleas.

I can only wish that more of us had views such as yours.

True. I hope you aren't the only one.

Divided, but united - I would say is the right attitude?

I voted for Kerry but since the other guy won, I'll support him so long as he is our "leader". We are still one country and should act as such. The elections are OVER.
