The default is actually accepting whoever the winner is, and that isn't always the DEM candidate.
It's up to the candidate to win a majority of votes cast. Blaming the voter is a cop out.
Bull-pucky. It is our civic duty to vote, one way or the other. Not voting at all is a lazy, cop-out. It’s like telling someone what you can’t do instead of what you can do. Nothing is accomplished by doing nothing except more nothing.
Maybe you forget the Preamble to the US Constitution begins with “WE” the people, not “ME” the candidate. Maybe it’s a cliche to some people, but Lincoln claimed this is a government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is our responsibility to vote for our representatives in this republic. The responsibility does not lie with the candidates.
On the contrary, by your comments, you seem to follow Christopher Morley’s (American journalist & novelist) claim from his book, “inward Ho!”, that America “...is still a government for the naive, by the naive.”
