Now im not sure if im totally off the ball here...
every "international" forum i frequent online (most of which tend to have way more US users) i find that in the time running up to an election people seem to get a bit too excited.
people seem to show more passion for politics and their chosen party then a die hard football fan would show for their team? tons of people opt to change their avatar and signature for DIY banners that must have taken the user wayyy too long in photoshop to produce.
then when it comes to any topic related to politics people get so over the top, defensive and sometimes even silly?
in the UK, at least in my upbringing, its considered quite rude to ask someone who their voting for. some people put their chosen parties poster in their window or garden; sorry if this offends anyone on here, but people that do that are often the weird families on the street that people dont tend to speak to. of course its allover the news when a UK election is going on and people have to make a choice for their vote. all in all; no one really cares all that much
so... why do americans seem to get so giddy?
