The amount of people I knew who were like, “There’s no way Hillary could lose so I don’t need to vote,” or, “Bernie got fucked so I’m not voting out of spite,” were too damn high
The “best” part was seeing how low the voter turnout was in our district that typically leans blue, well in 2016 the turnout was hella low and it went hella red for the first time in a long time
Looking at raw numbers the red was pretty consistent from election to election but that year so many people who would vote blue didn’t vote that it swung the election
Felt bad but now those people I know haven’t missed a single election
Looks at the 2016 US election…
I legitimately regret not voting for Hilary…
I get exactly how you feel. “Fuck the establishment, this’ll be the year that a third party wins!” To be young and optimistic again…

Meh, I still kinda regret having voted for her
“I wish the Democratic Party would put forth a candidate worth voting for!”

Sometimes that’s the best time to learn is when the country is at stake.
