Voted for Sanders twice in the democratic primaries of 2016 and 2020 and ended up voting for Trump in 2016. Decided I was politically homeless in 2020 and didn’t vote at all.

By the time I discovered you Nancy, during the Portland riots (first via Ziad Jalani on YouTube and then Reason) I had really began to regret not voting, even though it may have not made much difference. I voted Trump this time around.

Will things be better? Who knows? I think we needed a change.

I’ll continue to follow along here because I know you’ll shoot straight and call them how you see ‘em.

Nancy -- I didn't vote on your Twitter/X poll since it didn't include my category -- voted 3rd party, happy that Trump won.

And you needed 2 more categories: didn't vote + happy that H or T won.

Anyway, happy to respond here and not at all surprised at your poll results, as it's where I would have voted if I chose to.

I should add: not "happy", but that I have less fear of a Trump win versus a Harris/Walz win.

I didn't stay up late Election Night; instead I watched all/most of the Free Press/Fifth Column feeds hours later. Great stuff, well done.

Now we're watching the proposed cabinet selections. As usual, some are fine, are are who? and some are WTF? Not much different from the past decades. We will see.

BTW - did you see about the conviction of a Somali pirate for holding Michael Scott Moore hostage? I read his book a while back based on your recommendation -- glad to see this happen.
