I told them that I've watched my generation adopt policies that were not in their best interest at times because of human selfishness. I set mine aside in hopes that their futures could be better, and safer, than mine. Unfortunately, a good number of my votes went to candidates in various races who ultimately lost. <br /><br />This was enough to garner respect without revealing my exact votes, which I reminded them were very personal to each and every voter, regardless of the candidate for whom they choose to cast their ballots.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466204848136824901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410387772840321888.post-86562838758780329892016-11-25T19:12:11.660-05:002016-11-25T19:12:11.660-05:00I got asked a lot.
