    I voted for the greater good in 2016 - in the Democratic primaries.

    I voted for the lesser evil in the general election, then took a long hot shower.

    Things would have certainly worked out better with a Hillary victory instead of the Trumpster fire we got.

    This does not excuse the horseshit shenanigans that were going on within the DNC.

      Ooh Trumpster fire, I like that. And yeah I have learned that generally when voting for president is not ever someone I want or like.

        I voted for someone I wanted and liked one time. Bill Clinton in 1992. I was twenty years old, first time voting for president, and Bill campaigned hard to my age bracket and we loved him.

        Did he turn out perfect?

        Yeah, no, but I still think he did a decent job.

            Both of those things are true.

            I apologize for the enthusiasm of my vote thirty years ago and my lukewarm present day assessment of his term I guess.

            I shall retire from the Internet and publicly immolate myself at noon tomorrow for the shame of neglecting to pick apart each sin of every politician who ever lived.

            I guess I should’ve voted for Perot?

          I was toddling about them, my first vote was for O"bomb"a. I’m not upset with my vote then but after he left America really showed it’s hidden side
