Voted for Obama in 2008 because (IMO) McCain had sold out, and was saying stuff I had never heard him say (he was my senator).

I remember McCain, alone among GOP candidates, speaking out forcefully against torture. On the other hand, I remember him singing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran". I remember Mitt Romney, alone, among the GOP candidates, speaking out against invading every country that comes to mind. McCain is now dead, and Romney is retiring.

In 2016, I had the hardest decision I ever made. I voted for Trump. I figured Trump and Hillary are both corrupt megalomaniacs. The difference was that Trump was such an oaf, he would be caught, (I was right, impeached twice), while Hillary would howl about how she was such a victim of sexist persecution, and might get away with it.

When Biden was in office, it was nice to hear a POTUS that, compared to Trump, at least sounded rational. How much did he hand out in subsidies in his "green new deal"? Trump's take: protecting US industry with tariffs, rather than paying them subsidies. And Biden never did anything but enable Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Ever look at the Senators who have pocketed the most money from the Israel lobby through 2024? Biden was number one. Bob Menemdez was second. He went to prison for taking bribes, not from Israel, but from Egypt. Third highest was Hillary, with Kamala Harris a close forth.
