Ha, that's pretty good! Thanks for the perspective.
I've voted in every election for which I've been eligible, so I wonder if some of my votes were just to keep the streak alive even if only subconsciously.
I mean, some of them are like that. I've voted every time since, and I maybe my proudest, silliest vote was for Obama in the primary. I was, what, 20, and just really not that into Hillary mostly because she scapegoated video games. Obama ended up being a very good choice, but that reason was definitely immature young adult brain. (Vibe probably mattered, too, now that I think of it).
Honestly, dissing video games was not the best reason to get me to vote against her but like, you know how rare it is for as young person to vote in a primary? Small things like that can matter.
So YOU'RE why Clinton made that terrible Pokemon Go to The Polls and vote joke!
Oh man... hey now I still voted for her! But boy was she out of touch with the youth vote compared to Obama. I've got much higher hopes for Harris, though!
I mean, Obama was just... Damn. One of a kind, one hell of an orator.
I mean...I Pokémon GO to the polls every time I vote.
Because my voting place is a stop! So I do both at once!
I've been voting since I was capable of it though, the mayor of the town I grew up in would go to every 18 (or soon to be if you had a birthday very close to election time) and help get them all squared away and ready! It was cool.
That's such a cool thing for the mayor to do! That's quality public service.
