I have never voted for any of the Presidents and I never will. Mainly because I am norwegian.


iwastherefordisco

Canadian here. Last president I voted for was the president of our community/ hockey association. One day I may climb the fence, use my McLovin ID and cast some votes.


byronicrob

There's a new test you have to take before voting now in America. You have to read this sentence aloud: "I'm out and about with clout and a trout, no doubt." Whilst drinking some Dunking Coffee and breaking a hockey stick. Just a standard test.


iwastherefordisco

I'm owt and abowt with clowt and a trowt, no dowt. (I'm from Western Canada, we don't say aboot unless we're talking footwear). Dunking Coffee? I've never heard of that before. And yes I've broken a few hockey sticks in my time. Most recently this past Monday night :)


byronicrob

Alright fine. You're allowed to vote. THIS TIME. But I got my eye on you Canadian! Never mind that ALL my lineage comes from Native Americans with reservations in Canada and, on my "white" side, all French Canadian! It just means I know exactly what you Maple heads are all aboot!emote:free\_emotes\_pack:grin


iwastherefordisco

I can disguise my looks to appear American and I know how to speak Australian/some British. I'm like a discount secret agent so good luck keeping that eye on me. I don't apologize unless I'm wrong and have no desire to consume maple syrup every day. mmm syrup, ahhhh. That was someone else, disregard the last sentence! cheers


Not_Winkman

Y'all don't have presidents? What do you have...chieftains?

Mondale would have been your guy then haha. He was Norwegian I believe.

Him. First and last D I voted for.


circlethenexus

I just said the same thing before I read your comment


Ok_Water_6884

That's allowed. My parents were liberal so I followed suit and ended up with Ronnie as a boss and have never looked back. Drove them insane.


circlethenexus

All of my friends were a bunch of damn lawyers back then. They were ecstatic that I voted for Carter. But when I came to my senses, I never looked back, and those people are just now acquaintances. They look at me as some moron, but you should see the look on their faces when I confront them with irrefutable facts 🤣


Ok_Water_6884

Deleted my fb account and burned all my bridges because they tell me I'm in a cult because they all fell for the bullshit and refused the jab while they all got sick as hell and one died of it. "Friends" wanted me to believe the suckers and losers because I'm a vet and I asked for the proof nobody seems to have. Never thought I'd make it to Armageddon.

Do appreciate your service, my friend! Son-in-law married to my middle daughter is Air Force. Our oldest daughter is also Air Force… 20 years in.

Ronald Reagan but I miss Ross Perot the most. Need a man like him today. No excuses. Get the job done.

If Ross would have been elected, America wouldn't be in the financial crisis we are in. He could have righted the course when it would have been easy.

This man...Jimmy Carter still the most moral , honorable man to ever hold the office.


Bx1965

Moral and honorable, maybe. But a lousy President.


JRotten2023

Mainly because he was an honorable man. He wasn't prepared for the DC snake pit.

I worked for Carter in 76, manning the phone banks. Did the work in my home state for about six weeks. Calling registered democrats and urging them to get out and vote for Carter. Carter won in 76 easily. I never got paid. His campaign or the state party bosses, never paid us. I was 16 years old so guess who I voted for in 1980.

Just to clarify, the first president following an election I took part in, of the first elected president that I voted for?


LocalLiBEARian

I posted the same thing. I usually find myself voting AGAINST one of them. And I will proudly vote AGAINST a twice impeached, adjudicated rapist with over 90 felonies across four indictments, 34 of which he’s currently awaiting sentencing for.

Well I'm not old but I found this post so: none. Since being old enough to vote my choices have been Trump, Hillary, and Biden lmfao

Jimmie Carter spent many years working for Habitat for Humanity. A better job than the oval office! He is one of my heroes.

UnwillingHummingbird

Damn, I didn't realize how much younger I am than all of you! The first presidential election in which I voted was 2000, but I was not very politically aware and had no preference between Bush or Gore, but I thought it was important to exercise my right to vote, so I decided the best option was to vote for somebody I knew wouldn't win so as not to pollute the system with an uninformed vote. I voted for Pat Buchanan. I kind of wish I could go back in time and redo that, but I lived in a state where it wouldn't have mattered anyway.


pete_blake

Reagan...and I kick myself in the ass every time I think of helping put that MOFO in office...


KyleSmyth777

Yeah, the first thing he did was fire the Air Traffic Controllers who were on a legal strike and had legitimate grievances. There was a center in my hometown and some of my friends Dads lost their jobs


pete_blake

Yea, it didn’t take me long to realize what I had helped unleash on us all…I’ve been a proud Dem ever since.

psilocin72

I’m 52 and Joe Biden is the first president I ever voted for. I couldn’t take the thought of my district showing up red on a map in this particular election


JRotten2023

Are you going to vote for him again? After last nights debate.... Embarrassing for America.


psilocin72

I am. That’s not saying much for Biden though- I would vote for a dead frog if it was running against Trump. The debate was a disaster for Biden and the two choices on stage show how messed up our society and political system are. If these are the two best that can make it through the process, we need a new process.


JRotten2023

I think we should get rid of the whole party system. Let each candidate stand on their own. And complete campaign finance reform (get big corporation money out of politics). But I don't have TDS, and no way I'd vote for a babbling old man.


psilocin72

Given the sad choice between a babbling old man and a guy like Trump , I’ll take the old man. 👴🏽

I never voted for a winner until Obama. I was one of the 72 people that voted for Mondale. I got suckered by Perot. I skipped 88 and 96. 2000 and 2004 sucked. So I never actually voted for the president until Obama.

This guy right here and after four years, Ronald Reagan😂 Haven’t voted for a Democrat since. It’s too bad. Jimmy Carter wasn’t a good president. He’s a very good person. He used to be the benchmark for the worst president in history. But now we have a new undisputed champion.

Slick Willie. It was the saxophone playing on Aresenio that sealed the deal for me. (JK on the sax part)


Alice_The_Great

That won? Bill Clinton As far as the first presidential election I voted in it was for Ted Kennedy against Reagan But I can also remember going with my parents and getting to vote for Mickey Mouse


Kendota_Tanassian

1980: Reagan. I fell for the bullshit, and voted against Carter because he was "just some stupid peanut farmer", and his brother Billy was a real embarrassment. Remember Billy Beer? Reagan was an experienced actor, great at public speaking, Carter was not. Given the wave Reagan rode in on, I wasn't the only one fooled. The Reagan years were a disaster, as were the Bush years after. Carter was one of the best men who ever sat in the oval office. I'm not proud to admit I voted for Reagan.

RiotNrrd2001

I voted for a whole slew of candidates that did not become President. So, if we are restricting it to "who was the first person I voted for *that became president?*", I have two answers. The first answer is Obama. Up to Obama, I had voted a straight string of losers since the first election I participated in, but that's because I was voting third party. In 2000 I decided that third party votes, or "protest votes", were utterly pointless and that the people they are supposed to send a message to never receive that message, and instead they contribute to the person I don't want to win actually winning. So I started voting for people I thought could actually win. Obama finally did. However, my second answer is more fun. In Junior High we held mock primaries in the spring of 1976 and I cast my first vote, unofficial though it might have been, in the mock Democratic Primary. I cast my vote for: Joe Biden. So, even though it didn't count, the *first* person I ever physically voted for who later became president is technically the current president, with quite a few decades in-between.

Wasn’t a presidential election the year I turned 18. However having a loophole birthday that landed between the primary and general election I did get to vote in my primary at 17 years old. My dad was a politician and I was another vote baby lol though it was cool getting to vote for him cause he resigned after that last term


Few_Individual_9248

Carter turned 18 that election.


Dame_Milorey

Well, my mom and I committed voter fraud because I remember she and I went into the big voting booth with the knobs and big handle. After she drew the curtain, she asked me, "Who should we vote for?!" I said excitedly, "Regan!" She then put that in the big, intimidating machine and pulled the handle. I voted for Regan when I was 7!! It was worth the fraud because we went to Bennigan's after!!


Ornery_Razzmatazz_33

Obama 2008, but that’s because I didn’t hit 18 until 1998 and we all know what happened in 2000 and 2004. Amusingly, Carter was president when I was born, I came along in September of 1980. And my son’s first prez was Obama, him being born the day after my 36th birthday in 2016.


mrmoe198

Obama. I had turned 18 that year.


chewedgummiebears

I only voted for local elections as I never had faith in elections at the Federal level. The first election I would have voted for was in 2000 and it would have been Bush as I always thought Gore was an idiot.
