    Voters will always disappoint you. There will always be things left undone, done poorly, or done in a way you disagree with. Everybody needs to get used to this and learn we vote for the least bad, not the most good.

        Haha. That’s pretty good. The point I was trying to make is that it doesn’t make sense to me to hold voters to a higher standard of conduct than the politicians that they vote for.

      The difference is campaigns spend over a billion dollars these days and don’t even try to convince voters.

      They do anything for donations to spend on fundraisers for more donations, and they just go round and round. Every revolution everyone involved skims a little.

      If it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump in an election, maybe we should worry less about donations and more about votes.
