sweet i have something relevantly political to share. and this time, i can't be wrong.

2000- bush. first time voting. i think it was also the first time they let 17 years vote (i know 2000 was something first in voting)

2004- bush. this was the time i started to question my republican suburban adolescence. because i was in college man. even though i commuted and didn't fraternize with any other students, i caught liberalism. i still have a bunch of holdovers. outside of my ayn rand years i'm getting closer to the center.

2008- obama. from aught six to aught aught nineish, i was a pretty dedicated liberal. i read che guevara. surprisingly didn't think communism was sweet. but the mystique of da guerilla, man. i got a tingle in my leg reading the des moines register at a cafe in dubuque when obama won iowa.

i loved the ideas that manifested in the left, antiwar, drugs, liberation of the body, etc. this was obviously my big takeaway

2012- ding dong johnson- right in the middle of my ayn rand years. i was one of those retard libertarian fanboys who really couldn't tell you what it was

2016- ding dong johnson- i really feel i'm hitting my stride. i'm one of those fiscally conservative far left social folks. i even might contradict myself when presented with facts and be completely comfortable doing so.

no one's ever gonna win at politics. your side is gonna lose. so i've been trying to stay mostly local with politics and not pay much attention to the national stuff. that's my intention at least and i'm not doing a very good job
