and, i'll point this out again.

- in 2000, i would not have voted for al gore. i would have supported nader. until the end. and, i'll remind you that gore was a very loud voice in favour of bombing iraq, going all the way back to the 80s.
- i did support kerry as a lesser evil in 2004. kerry was a better choice than gore in many ways, but most importantly, in context, as the least pro-war candidate.
- i had no interest in barack obama in 2008. my answer to "clinton or obama?" was kucinich. i would have voted for the greens.
- what is the point in having an election between mick romney and barack obama? how are they different, at all? i would voted for the greens in 2012.
- i very, very weakly endorsed clinton in 2016, under concerns about trump's uncertainty. if the argument is "they're both the same, it doesn't matter who wins anyways, so vote green", then it broke down somewhat under the lack of clarity about what trump was actually going to do. so, for example, he said he was an isolationist, but we didn't know that he really was. on the other hand, we know clinton is an interventionist and an imperialist and has been for a very long time. if that's your issue, it's tempting to vote for trump, as the undefined unknown is better than the defined known, if you are staunchly opposed to it. but, if trump is just blatantly lying - if he's a hyper-interventionalist nazi - then you've been had. i strongly suspected he was lying, so i endorsed clinton.
- i will not support any of these candidates besides bernie in 2020, and i may not even support bernie. the changes he's made in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience have been discouraging. let's see who the greens actually run, first.

that means i would have supported democrats in two of the elections this century (2004,2016) and greens in three of them (2000,2008,2012).

and, i think i've posted here quite a bit that i would not define myself as a democrat, at all.
