Well, I was 3 in 2008 so frankly, I really didn't care.

In hindsight though, even though Obama's 2008 victory was overwhelming, Trump is a danger while McCain is just someone I had some disagreements with.

2008, because at least there was a few months of fleeting hope where now I know this is nothing more than a brief remission.

I would argue that because of polarization, if Democrats win the GA runoffs, a 50-50 senate, a 224-211 ish House, and the Presidency would be more powerful than Obama's trifecta in 2008. We've already seen how powerful a narrow Republican trifecta was between 2016 and 2018, and since then, polarization has only gotten worse.

Biden 2020, because unlike Trump, McCain wasn't a treat to general institutions and democracy.

He wasn't a treat to American democracy, but he definately wasn't a threat either I would argue
