I’ve realized that most elections depress me

I’m sad today, but I’m realizing that this isn’t the first time:

1980:  I voted for Carter (yes, I was that dumb); Reagan won.  I was sad.  🙁

1984:  I voted for Mondale (yes, I was that dumb); Reagan won.  I was sad.  🙁

1988:  I voted for Dukakis (yes, I was that dumb); George H.W. Bush won.  I was sad.  🙁

1992:  I voted for Clinton (yes, I was that dumb); Clinton won.  I was happy.  🙂

1996:  I voted for Clinton (yes, I was that dumb); Clinton won.  I was happy.  🙂

2000:  I voted for Gore (yes, I was that dumb); George W. Bush won.  I was sad.  🙁

2004:  I voted for Bush; Bush won.  I was happy.  🙂

2008:  I voted for McCain (gritting my teeth as I did so); Obama won.  I was sad.  🙁

2012:  I voted for Romney (believing the fundamental would spell victory for him); Obama won.  I was sad.  🙁

Nine elections and only three happy faces.  I’m perpetually running against the nation’s tide.  Maybe if I support Biden in 2016, Rubio will win.  Nah.  With my luck, the Fates will know I’m faking it, and Biden will win.
