I wouldn't exactly call it a "regret" but I voted Sanders in 2016 and would vote Clinton if given the chance again since I'm more ideologically aligned with her now. I still like them both though.
Even with hindsight knowing she lost?

Well I originally voted for Sanders and he lost the primary, so it's not like I can take the gamble on him anyway.

If I could magically appoint the nominee, I'd pick him just to see if he would win, obviously. But it's not like my one vote can change anything, so might as well just vote for who I like better.

Regret is for pussies. I stand by any of my voting decisions one thousand percent.

I regret voting for Eduardo Jorge in the first round in 2014, since he endorsed Aécio Neves in the runoff, and in 2018, he was neutral between Jair Bolsonaro and Fernando Haddad.
Luciana Genro could have been a better option for the first round in 2014.

No, I have never voted R in my entire life, there were Biden hacks on the MSNBC and on the forum, and he was overrated just like Hillary was, we would have been best off if Cory Booker was Prez, that's why Eric Adams is becoming the fav in 28 not Harris, it won't be for 24 Biden is running

Thank goodness there aren't anymore overrated Bide, Newsom or Hillary anymore

Yes.

That regret informed me to not make the mistake in 2020, now I sit vindicated.

Maybe only Chris Christie during his 2013 re-election bid or some votes in local elections. Probably my most enthusiastic vote was Obama in 2012.

I voted for Ron Unz for California Senator in 2016 when he ran as a kind of radical centrist. Considering Unz is an open Holocaust denier now (despite being Jewish) I certainly do regret my vote.

I regret voting for 4 Republicans at the state and county level in 2014. 3 didn't win but they were still Republicans

Don't be too hard on yourself. Pat Quinn was a terrible candidate Wink

Hillary would've been the better President and Bernie being the leader of the party would've been disastrous long term. I regret nothing.

Crist in 2010, not that it mattered.

Shaheen in 2020. Admittedly I only voted for her because I couldn't be bothered to think of a name to write in, but I very much regret my vote.

Won't be voting for her in 2026 if she runs again. Sellout ass motherf**ker.
