Lazy and honest.

The furthest left option in the Democratic field in the primary and whatever slop I'm served in the general.

Rinse and repeat.

I probably would have voted Stein in 2016 if the Republican was a Dole/Romney/McCain type.
I did vote Obama in the 2008 primary to pump the brakes on Clinton.

All Dem except Eisenhower, and maybe voting third party in 1976/1980 (without hindsight, religious southern candidate would've been a huge turn off).

Last four Dem candidates being the best out of all of them.

Anything from 1996 on is an actual vote:

1952: Eisenhower
1956: Eisenhower
1960: Kennedy
1964: Abstain (Johnson and Goldwater were both terrible for their views and involvements on the Vietnam war in my opinion)
1968: Nixon, reluctantly
1972: Nixon, reluctantly again
1976: Carter
1980: Anderson
1984: Reagan
1988: Paul
1992: Perot
1996: Perot

I guess he feels kind of wishy-washy to me? Even back in 2012 I wasn't really enthusiastic about him. But I don't really hate him, my votes here have more to with really liking McCain and (now) being okay with Obama.
