How have my political views changed?
I have always been a registered independent, and I’ve almost always voted for the person I thought would do the best job. I’ve only voted for a Republican once in my life, that was George W. The person I was dating at the time convinced me not to vote for a different candidate while we were in the middle of a war. This person told me, “Person trumps party”. That was the first and last time I took advice from another person on how to vote.
In 2016, I voted for Bernie Sanders because I didn’t like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
In 2020, I voted for Joe Biden because of the way Trump handled COVID and his views on everything were the polar opposite of my views.
This year, I voted for Kamala Harris because my disdain for Trump has gotten stronger.
As long as Trump is in the running, I will vote Democrat. Thankfully, he’ll be gone after this term. We’ll see who is running in 2028.
