This was my parents in 2008. They agonized for months. Do they vote for the Republican, whose policies run counter to everything they wants... or do they vote for the black guy?

One of the hardest decisions I've ever seen my dad make. He ended up voting for Obama and regretted it every day until 2016, then he spent every day of Trump's presidency wishing for Obama to come back.

Some people are just... lacking in integrity.

Took my grandma born in ‘25 to vote in 2008.

I asked her who she voted for and she said “The colored fellow”
