Time Machine: Is there a vote for US President you wish you could go back and change?

Have you ever voted for a presidential candidate and now wish you could go back and change that vote? Hindsight is 20/20, but I confess I voted for Trump in 2016. I didn’t want Hillary for various reasons. I wish I could go and take back my vote. Doesn’t mean I would have voted Hillary, but I wouldn’t have contributed to what has led, in part, to incredibly divisive times.

No. I have always voted for the lesser of two evils and my judgement of the candidates (overall) has not changed,

I would love to live long enough to be able to actually vote for someone I liked!

so have I, but I was wrong...twice with a 2 term president..... he was just better at hiding the evil.. and no I will not say who.... not looking for a flame war

I would guess one is Obama (not asking you to confirm). He is the only one I voted for that I had some hope for. But he disapointed in many ways.

I voted for both Trump and Regan. I dont regret neither but in hindsight I wouldn't have voted if the people I wanted to see as president actually ran for the office.

It takes guts to admit that. Kudos to you for the honesty and self-reflection.

Maybe my first time voting in 1988. It's possible that Dukakis might have been a better choice. I don't really think me going back and changing that vote would make a difference. Either way we'd probably would still have been stuck with a lame duck. I dunno. :shrug:
