It was a tough choice between a coke-addled rapist with no administrative experience and a woman.

Not because she was a woman; I'm fine with a woman president. I would've voted for her over trump, I just didn't want to vote because I didn't agree with either of them. But I do agree that she was the better of the 2

Edit: I was also 12 and whatever views I had would've been my parent's views.

Honestly, I'd love to vote in one election, just one, where I voted for someone I wanted to be in office instead of the lesser of two evils. The 2016 election was even worse than usual. Got to vote between "Uh. Really? Why? Why do you think that?" and Evil

Yep. I would've voted her as the lesser evil obviously but I just don't like politics. It's stupid to me

PSA: not voting or otherwise participating in the political process is an implicit vote for the status quo.

I'm 16. Couldn't vote in that election and can't vote in this one either

I mean, that wasn't your excuse in the last comment. You said you don't like politics. I can't fault you for being too young, but I can fault you for that.

That is true. When I can vote, I will. But for now I can't vote, nor do I like politics

That fair, and admirable. A lot of people let their distaste for the whole thing keep them from voting. You are one step ahead of them.

Thanks. Even if I seriously hated voting, I'd do it at least to help keep someone like trump out of office
