U.S. citizens, who was running for president the first time that you voted?

I first voted in 2008 when it was Barack Obama and John McCain.

Barack Obama and McCain. Ngl I only voted for him because he was black. I didn't give a fuck what policies he promised. I just wanted someone with a tan in the white house

@empanadas I know a lot of people are convinced that’s why all of us voted for him. I can honestly say it wasn’t my reason. I would not have voted for Herman Cain or Ben Carson, and I didn’t vote for Jesse Jackson in the 1984 primary.

@empanadas you sound racist against the white, increasingly marginalized, race. Are you a woke, multicultural, globalist commie?

@empanadas I will be the first to admit I haven't seen a person of color doing something this stupid.

Maybe they do, but most of them have the good sense not to film it.

@empanadas @LordShadowfire A comedian said that "certain groups of people will [b]not[/b] be coming up with shows like ‘Jackass’ ! We’re too busy trying [b]not[/b] to get killed."
