That picture with Batman. Daddy's been dead for a while.
Now, in the country I live (not USA), there are two main parties. I like neither of them. I consider the one currently in office to be the worse without a doubt, but the other one also sucks. All the lesser ones are pretty much ignored, regardless of merit. (actually, the nazis are disturbingly popular, but thankfully not enough to get voted in) So I will not actually vote. Yes, I am a horrible person who doesn't deserve to live in a "democratic" system.

meh my dad isn't very political, however i do believe he is a bit more on the republican side than he is democratic, and i'm opposite in that i'm not a die hard democratic but not really republican by much either.
but those two correlations have nothing to do with each other, i don't do it to spite him, as i never new his political leanings until up about a year or so ago.

I haven't registered to vote yet. And if I ever do, I probably would vote for the same party as my father. Which is conservative. (flame shield activate)
EDIT: Either that or libertarian, since my views seem to be the most similar to them.

Nope, my dad is still under this delusion that some of the republican candidates actually have brains.
I did yes. We're kind of on the same page politically, both being quite vehemently left of centre. I see what you're getting at here, but I'd like to think my perceptions were colored by my own personal experiences and interpretations, rather than being influenced to think a certain way.
I don't think my father's political views shaped my voting in any way shape or form. Its quite funny because until about 2 years ago, I never talked politics much with him, and he never brought it up to me. I would say I vote with my own voice and thoughts but I do hear echoes of my Grandfather, whom I would watch TV with when I was young and he was alive... The man would rage at CNN on a daily basis, and most likely would be writing Congress with a fury and passion daily...
I have a huge respect for my Grandfather due to his being a self-made man, putting himself through college twice, both Stanford and Alabama respectively, making Lt. Col in the Air Force and serving in WWII and Korea respectively. And he also went back to school multiple times to re-educate himself on new things... Never balked at a chance to learn, never thought he knew it all and regularly beat the tar out of me at Chess. In fact I never beat him once... but I did learn a lot about thinking ahead, anticipation and losing with grace.

No idea what he's voting, now or ever.
Pretty sure he does usually.
I always vote, which is quite often here in .NL!

I tend to vote centre-left and my dad tends to vote centre-right. So sometimes we do vote for the same party, but not always- last 2 elections he voted Tory and I voted Lib Dem. Much good that did me... Still ended up with BoJo the Randy Clown for mayor and the chinless wonder that is David Cameron in No. 10.
just wanted to say, love your avatar, probably one of my favorite characters from the show.Benny Blanco said:
No. My father is very much at the centre, and votes Labour most often. I vote for Conservative or UKIP, and lie mostly on the right.

I have in past years, but this one is going to be rather tricky. We are both quite Left, but Obama is such a pussy that my father would vote for ANYONE else.

SNP is really the only party in Scotland worth a damn. They actually get shit done in a positive way (holy shit investing in businesses, encouraging apprenticeships and actually trying to tackle our societies drink problem are good ideas???)
Torries are way to right wing (although they are at least consistent in being right wing), Labour are headed by a moron who doesn't even support the unions his whole campaign was based on and the Lib Dems are spineless twats.
