(28 posts)13. My first election when I turned 18
was in 1976 and was happy that Carter won that year. I thought at the time that I knew how to pick the winners, but then Reagan won four years later and I didn't vote for him...how did that happen?! It happened again with Bush, twice, and I've not been that depressed again until November 2016.
