You're putting down your fellow man, not solving the problem.
Color me confused. I thought elections were about winning and losing. You know, the old-fashioned idea that you put forth your plans and promises, the other guy does the same - then the voters decide which one to hire. The winner gets the job and the right to carry on with his plans. Indeed, he has an obligation to, since that's what he promised. The loser licks his wounds and accepts the verdict.
