That sucks. A similar-ish thing happened to my dad during the Clinton administration.

But the electoral college doesn't treat me as an equal voter here. Trump got destroyed in the DC vote in 2016. He's going to get destroyed in the DC vote in 2020 no matter who he's running against.

My vote - which is what this poll/question was about - won't have any impact on who becomes president, and it therefore won't have any impact on the decisions (hiring included) that president make.

That's mostly shitty and I hate it. Pretty much the only upside is that I'm free to vote my conscience. So I'm going to do that.

edit: or, to put it another way, I'm not saying that the President doesn't have any effect me. I'm saying that my vote doesn't have any effect on the President.
