Do you regret your choice for 2016? I don't regret voting for Hillary Clinton at all.

I voted for Hillary Clinton and I don't think I could regret it less.

Absolutely not. HRC would've made a fine President in her own right, let alone compared to the monstrosity we have in office now.

Along with some other fellow Democrats, I regret that we chose our nominees in reverse order -we should have nominated Hillary Clinton in 2008 instead of waiting eight years to do so.  

That said, I don't regret having helped make her our nominee in 2016, and I most certainly have no regrets about casting my vote for her in November.

Didn't vote, but I never will regret my support of Trump, wish I could've worked harder to flip NH for him though.

Given the nature of my state, the nature of the candidate, my motive while at the polling station, and the final outcome....Absolutely.

The best choice in retrospect would've been to just Write-In someone or leave that part blank and vote as normal downballot.

Voting for Trump was indeed the greatest mistake of my life. If only the Democrats had harped incessantly about supposed Russian influence during the campaign the way they have since the election, I may have caught my mistake earlier.

Given that Trump sucks and I think Hillary would have been 5 X worse Im very content with not voting for either, especially since the less bad option imo won anyway.

Nope.

In 2016, I voted for Irmgard Griss (who would have been the first female Austrian President), then voted for Van der Bellen twice against Norbert Hofer.

Nope. My vote didn't come anywhere close to deciding it, and I took a stand for change to the system.

Yes. Given a redux, I would have voted for Evan McMullin.

No, I don't, even if I am not entirely satisfied with how things are going right now.  But, Hillary would have been millions of times worse.

No, the fact that I voted for the only person who could've stopped Trump is something I will never regret, and will probably be something I'll get to wear as a badge of honor in future years.

this although i'm sure for largely different reasons. i went in knowing there would be some things i agreed with president trump on and some things i disagreed with him on... because i'm not a republican. and trump is very much a republican. it's just that he's a republican without being a full blown neo-conservative, a libertarian, or a mormon. trump doing as well as he did in the primaries wasn’t a fluke. it's because he's extremely representative of the average republican in the 2010s. it's baffling that certain republicans *even now* can not accept that.

If Clinton's popular vote victory, and margin, proved to be a better talking point than it's been so far, then I would regret abstaining more.

I haven't voted, since I'm not a citizen, but no, I don't regret supporting Clinton once nominated. I regret we didn't have better candidate.

Not at all, I regret not being able to convince any nonlibertarian to vote with me.

No, my decision to vote for Gary Johnson instead of Trump is validated more and more every day.

Not for one minute. Before the election I was repelled briefly by Bushgate but that was all.

I didn't vote, but I'd have voted for Hillary and I still believe it was the right thing to do.

You did the right thing by staying out of it. I'd trade ya' cognitive decisions via time machine if that were possible.
