(25,415 posts)46. I voted for Clinton when I was 20.
I had an interest in politics by the time I was 16 but I couldn't vote in the '92 election. By '96 I was even more sure that I was a moderate to liberal. Don't let anyone tell you your opinion does not matter because you are young. Your generation will have a lot to deal with in the coming years. Also, the two parties are different. Many say they are the same but after voting in 4 Presidential elections (I voted for Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama) now I know better. Corruption can happen in either party but where the issues matter socially and economically, the two parties are vastly different.

Welcome, look around. It's rather complicated. BTW, I come from the NYOB crowd on many issues, too.

As a side note, it's not a 100% certainty that Romney paid 13% of his income in taxes.
