Mr. President, you got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote.

— The American President • 1995

What it means

Our interpretation.

An angry, pointed warning to someone in power: losing one supporter is the least of the president's worries, and the speaker's vote is already gone. It turns a personal break into a political statement, suggesting trust has been lost in a way that matters more.
