The first president I voted for was Bill Clinton, for his reelection campaign, and I didn't much like him either. I'm a voracious reader, and if someone challenges me, I'll read every aspect of an issue. Given that, I read as much as possible about Bill Clinton, and found I disagreed with him on so many issues, it wasn't even funny, and back then I was a mild civil libertarian with some economic conservatism. My stint working at Wal*Mart, and getting my Overtime stolen from me by those unethical fucks really shifted my economic outlook to the left. I started reading Debs, Keller, Marx, Engels, etc. and became a Socialist. Making friends with several Gay people(including my best friend) solidified my stances for civil rights for everyone.

The fact is that I only agree with the Democrats about 20%-40% of the time, most of the time I think they are full of shit, but I agree with the Republicans 0% of the time, so I'm forced into voting for the lesser of two evils, the only consolation I have is the Democrats fuck up less often, but they still fuck up.
