Man born in 1946 to a middle class family. Was a college student in the late 1960's and developed left-libertarian-ish views and a strong pacifist propensity, which have mostly accompanied him all his life. Voted Wallace in 1968 for teh lulz because he thought neither Humphrey nor Nixon were actually going to end the Vietnam War, while McGovern in 1972 was the most enthusiastic vote of his life. He settled down in the mid 1970's and after a slight reassessment in priorities and out of rejection of Carter's style he briefly considered himself a 'liberal Republican'. Progressively radicalized leftwards again during the Reagan era, he voted Paul in 1988 because he thought Dukakis was an idiot who didn't even know how to campaign. Flirted with Perot in 1992 but reluctantly went with Clinton in the end because he just wanted to terminate 12 years of Republican rule. Drifted towards a #populist position in the 1990's, and in 2000 fell for Bush's comparatively less interventionist stance and tossed a coin between him and Nader again, this being the vote he most regrets. He went for Kerry and Obama out of opposition to the Iraq War, but fell out of favour with the latter after Lybia/Syria. Conquered by the Bernie tide, he cast his most reluctant vote ever for Clinton in 2016 out of fear of Trump's authoritarianism. He went in retirement in the late 2010's in some state that's safe for one party and so didn't feel the need to cast another reluctant vote for Biden.

TL;DR An anti-war left-libertarian with some weird quirks
