The only time it's acceptable to taunt a loser mercilessly is when Vancouver is eliminated from the playoffs. No mercy for Canucks fans! :P

I agree with this sentiment (Especially the part about making fun of Canucks fans). Maybe a huge problem with politics today is that it's become a different kind of sporting match where supporters throw on their colors and support their party like a sports fan supports their team. The only problem is that politics is supposed to be about running a government that has effects on how people live their lives and it's not innocently over after election night.
Unlike in sports where people stand by their team even if they have a bunch of diving losers playing for them, in politics when 'your' party starts resembling more what you do not support than what you do support you're actually
supposed to switch sides.
