Ah, Gary Johnson. I had such high hopes for him in 2016...

It was my first presidential election as an eligible voter, and this was before the alt-right co-opted libertarianism. All I knew was that I hated trump, and I was being bombarded with anti-Clinton propaganda so I didn't like her either (but not for the right reasons, like how she's a neoliberal capitalist).

I didn't know enough about Bernie at the time. I didn't know enough about leftism or the world in general to consider myself a progressive yet. I hadn't even entered the cocoon in which I later metamorphosed into a full-blown socialist throughout my mid-twenties.

Gary Johnson... my first vote in a presidential election... sigh...

Those were... simpler times...
