I can't ever recall voting for someone I liked rather than against someone I liked less. That's just sad.

 

Tony...please.  I want you to go look in a mirror and ask yourself this question: "What kind of person comes to the conclusion that they are uniquely qualified to govern other people?"

Then ask yourself if you want your daughter to marry such a person.

I guess, I don't know. I'm sure I'm being naive, but I'd love to believe there is a civil servant out there that is prepared to lead for the greater good.

Define "the greater good."  I kinda suspect you and I don't define it the same way, which is why politics is competitive.

I would define it as doing things that benefit the most number of people, even if it doesn't benefit oneself.

Fair enough. 

I believe that what benefits the most people is the least involvement of government.  "That government governs best which governs least."  Are we still on the same page, or have we slipped onto different pages?

I think we have a divergence, but that's ok. I get your point and I think that in a perfect world that would work. Unfortunately, I believe most folks require a hand, in order to get there. The greatest country in the world can offer such a hand. “A rising tide lifts all boats”. Blah, blah, blah.

But there's where it gets complicated.  We both want the most good for the most people, but we don't agree on what that is. So we rely on the wisdom of crowds.  Competition.  We put up candidates and let them duke it out and we vote.  And the candidate that puts all the right pieces together in the right places at the right time wins.

I get it.  Y'all are disappointed because your team lost this one, and it particularly stings that some folks who you thought were reliably on your team joined the other side. 

Buck up!  There's always next year. 

Well, year after next.

I was really talking in generalities, and just trying to answer your questions as best I could. I've accepted the result of this election and plan to make the best of it.

Edit: I won't be storming the Capitol.

Not quite right...as I've said before i'm a lifelong Republican...but I'm not a Trumpican.  I didn't vote for. I voted against.
