One of the downsides in doing what I do for a living is when someone I’ve never met asks me what my career is. It’s not that I’m ashamed of fighting against Republican bullshit and for progressive policies, it’s that politics can sometimes be a volatile subject to start discussing with someone you’re not familiar with.
Inevitably there are instances such as last night where one of my buddy’s friends asked what I did, then immediately asked me the follow up question that really should never be asked: So, who’d you vote for?
Typically whenever somebody I don’t know asks me that question I’ll pause for a moment, then do my best to change the subject.
Unfortunately, this person didn’t pick up on me clearly trying to avoid getting into the topic, following up my attempt to change the subject by saying, “You didn’t vote for that bitch Hillary, did you?”
“You mean the candidate who received 3 million more votes than Trump? Proudly,” I replied.
