Well, I really wanted Buttigieg.

Biden was a distant fourth choice. But no, voting for him was not a mistake, I did it in full possession of all my senses. And I would do it again.

I voted for Biden simply because he wasn't Trump, and have no regrets.

Employed. Just paid off the mortgage. Life's good.

Thanks for admitting it and I’m genuinely curious, what has the Biden Administration done that would cause you to want to vote for him again in 2024? It seems like every thing that has been an “accomplishment” of his also has a downside, like the “Infrastructure Bill” containing a lot of pork that doesn’t really fund infrastructure, or the “Inflation Reduction Act” that is doing nothing to tackle the issue of inflation, etc.

And to put those votes in perspective, that was the margin in just TWO States, New York and California.

Biden won California by about 5 Million and New York by about 2 Million votes.

Would have saved way more money from grocery/gas/inflation to put into your kids college fund if you voted for Trump

Oh well, lesson learned

Well I've made mistakes since I was knee high to a grasshopper.
As to the year 2020... Why yes I do recall a particular day I made a mistake. Made a custard and added a bit to much vanilla. Then there was the time i mailed a letter , and had the stamp turned the wrong way.
Ohhh the horror!
Yet if this is about regret for who I excercised my casted vote, won't happen. The right to vote is a priveledge . To whom I vote for is equally so.

Apparently you have a problem with the winner of the popular vote ALSO winning the Electoral College. Sometimes, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Sure ---- and Trump won in 2016 by 80K votes.

But you know -- Electoral college.....

Trump has never been the most popular choice. It is what it is.

And yes he won fair and square in 2016.

I hope both parties present better candidates.

Given that I don't think Republicans have any great answers to deal with supply chain disruptions, Ukraine/Russia dispute, etc. while I may not be thrilled with some of Biden's policies, I would still vote him over Trump.

Unlike most of you I don't think Trump has any answer to manage the recession. The biggest claim is no spending but Trump even campaigned on spending to stimulate the economy and get it back so not srue he wouldn't have spent money anymore effectively.

Border situation...in 2020 with Trump's Great Wall -- the border crossing so multiple 'record setting' numbers. No I don't think we'd have Abbott & DeSantis playing political games with asylum seekers under Trump but not sure that's a reason to vote Trump.

Both parties need to step up and find their roots.

To paraphrase a saying...

Those who fail to admit mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

In general, I support D policies as opposed to R policies.

I am an atheist, secular, pro-choice, civil-rights-supporting, dictator-despising kind of person. Not gonna vote for someone who is beholden to the christian right. Or someone who boasts about exchanging love letters with Putin and Kim. Ever.

I am old enough to remember when there were Rs I would vote for. But that hasn't been true since around 1986 or so. It sucks, but it isn't my fault.
