'Voters' in Malden weigh candy against more firetrucks

STUPID

Two candidates that are puppets of the same system--that was good training for actual American democracy!

I wonder if the teacher has tried switching the animals' genders and making the contest between Miss Lion and Mister Froggy. I noticed her low voice and less hyper tone when Mr. Lion was "speaking," and couldn't help wondering if/how gender was at play.

"How happy are you?"
"...............ten happy"

hahaha, great piece!

My daughter actually goes to Rockland and it is a GREAT preschool. She was very excited about voting. Let's not try to point out why the teacher talked in a different tone. Let's applaud the effort to make our children more aware of the life ahead of them and the important things that will impact their lives.

I went there in 1977. It looks the same. I'm impressed with how the teacher did not try to proselytize the children into being liberal democrats. The Malden Public Schools waited until I was in 1st grade to do that.

More kids want the kind of candidate they can have candy with.

What is wrong with this town? Gender roles in preschool puppet voting? It's a lion and lizard and the teacher is entertaining them...maybe we should use the voice of the lady on the T who announces which train is arriving next in the same monotone voice. Kids will throw themselves in front of the slide at recess but at least their votes won't be biased. If we're going to socially deconstruct four year olds voting then lets get to it: OK, so the lizard is obviously a symbol of islamic fundamentalism, and the lion is global warming. The "teacher" if any god fearing evolutionist has the temerity to call her/him/it self that is most likely a member of the union and this entire effort is most likely just the working class oligarchy trying to impose a narrative of Milton Keynes style Swiss Marxism in complicit collaboration with "firefighters" and "police officers" (read hippies and polygamists) all at the expense of big candy. I heard the candy they offered to those who voted before nap time was actaully four years old and had lost all its taste. The Reeses Peanut Butter Cups were all melted and the Skittles had all turned into the same color (orange). All this is beside the point as the whole exercise is just another example of false choices perpetually purported on the pliable minds of uneducated voters. Everyone knows that a sufficient candy supply is the number one deterent of violent crime and that gingerbread houses don't burn, they just turn a delicious golden brown.

wait till the ones that voted for miss froggy all grow up and turn OBESE and go on disability and call the emergency services cause they cant get theyre FAT arse up off the floor.........

That is adorable, especially the very cute, amazingly smart kid in the orange shirt voting for Mr. Lion.
