13. I regret not voting for Hillary
I know a President Hillary would have gotten us a better health care bill. She is a war hawk, but then, she could have decided to start disengaging from Afghanistan instead of escalating the war.

6. sounds fucking fabulous.
I'm sure there's a big parade in it for us when we completely eliminate the Taliban and establish a wonderfully successful democratic government there. Yeah, I'm sure we've got it all figured out.
