re: #293 goddamnedfrank

I wasn’t very active but I was in college and it was the first federal election I was eligible in so I voted for Clinton. That Thanksgiving my older half-brother made a giant scene over it, screaming at me that I wanted “to give everything to the *n-words*.” Everyone was mortified, good times. He would’ve been a huge Trumper if he hadn’t died a few years ago from complications of alcoholic cirrhosis.

I voted in ‘96 and remember being very underwhelmed by both Clinton and Dole. As I’ve mentioned here before, I voted for Dole because that’s what good Republicans did back then. But I remember saying to my mom at one point, possibly on election night, something along the lines of “well, he’s done a good job so far” about Clinton. So it probably isn’t much of a surprise that I wasn’t a Republican for many or election cycles.
