Your First Presidential Election

[IrezumiKiss]

You'll be carbon dating yourself, but at this point I doubt there's anyone here relatively younger than thirty-five.

Who’s the first person you voted for as President?

Mine was Clinton in 1992.

 

[pointless]

bush v kerry. i obviously voted for kerry.

 

[FGB]

Jimmy Carter of Georgia defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford 1976.

As I was a Democrat I voted for Peanut Head.

 

[Wrong Element]

I turned 18 just in time for Carter-Reagan, and as a massive nerd of course I voted.

You'll be carbon dating yourself.....

You've got some years on me...but I knew that.

 

[oneweekonly]

i'll never forget the pride that accompanied my participation in my first vote.

i really felt as though it wasn't just pepsi winning, but me winning with them.

No surprise. Concern trolls like you on aughts-era boards like these tend to be 4chan rejects looking for a purpose...and that ain't my generation!

Gonna answer the question, or nah?

 

[ThePlumTiger66]

No surprise.

I was surprised when I first found out.

Your maturity level...

My first election took place in grade school, voting for the student council.

Those were the days...

feels good, man!

 

[IrezumiKiss]

No, I'm scared of honest interaction with other people because I'll show my ass and at this stage of my life, I can't afford that level of vulnerability

Thanks for playing, bro!

Lyndon Johnson, 1964.

Thanks for playing, bro!

That's what you heard?

(I wouldn't listen to those voices in your head...they're giving you bad info.)

No shit! But I'll dodit anyway: Nixion-McGovern 1972. I voted at Fort Lewis Washington (I was active army at the time). We could leave or unit and vote any time during that day. We used the punch card style ballots at the time.

1996, I voted for Perot!

Ditto! I thought it was cool to vote for the underdog. Plus, I liked his squeaky voice for some reason.

A lot of people forget that Perot ran again in '96. He did only about 1/3 as well.

 

[coati]

1972- voted for McGovern.

Voted in every election since.

 

[islandman]

Clinton, 1992.

Shit, you're right. I forgot that, too!

I think the novelty of him wore out pretty fast.

 

[JackLuis]

1968-Nixon The Anti-war President, of course he lied!

 

[HBergeron]

Reagan, i980. I could have voted in the 1976 election, but I didn't really care yet. Carter made me care.

 

[rae121452]

[Aglaopheme]

Michael Dukakis in ‘88.

 

[renard_ruse]
