I’m closing in to being within a decade of Social Security myself, and the second of my kids will be starting college this fall, so I’m not exactly a spring chicken, but, alas, my first Presidential General election ballot was wasted on a Bush at the top of the ticket.
I imagine you, at least, had the privilege of voting for RR.
My 1st time voting I went with HH 2nd time was McGovern then Carter. I got it right the 4th time. Voted for RR. That’s how you vote when your parents vote democrat. Live and learn.
