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.
