    Exactly. I am all for candidates with opposing ideas going into the election, debating their points, and winning based on the merit of their claims.

    However, we live in a country that legalizes bribery in the shape of special interest groups and super pacs. If we don’t expect politicians to give their donors ROI for their money, I’ve got some waterfront property just west of Seattle to sell you.

    Dems prop up unpopular candidates. GOP tries to push candidates who simp to Trump, meanwhile they oppose him. (with a couple of notable exceptions, of course.)

    I just want a fair election for everyone. I may not agree with you, but I want your vote to count as much as mine. No more, no less. (that opens up another conversation, of course, but I’m eating turkey and watching the Seahawks get their asses handed to them.)

      I agree. While I want my person to win, if the other persons has better ideas and wins I’d be fine with it.

      Right now people are voting against someone rather than voting for someone.
