I'll Admit It. I Voted Third Party Once

There have been a lot of posts since November about how to recruit young voters, but I think that most of us (me included) tend to forget about our first voting experience. They want to make an independent choice, and there is a certain wariness of aligning with a party. Hence, they go "independent" not out of spite but because they feel it is a valid option in expressing their own independence. At least, that is how I felt at the time. Luckily, Clinton won and I didn't have to live with the consequences of my choice. Only later did I realize how badly it could have gone.
