Because right or wrong, depending how some people think, their vote actually matters. It's a democracy and people get to vote for someone they believe in. It's the system and that's the way it works.
As I stated before, in democracies, you need shifts in power back and forth for it to be healthy. In America, in Canada, in Mexico in wherever you want.
What do you think happens when in these countries the leaders don't relinquish control? We have chaos.
I love politics, I love American/Canadian and European politics. Naturally I don't like when certain things from the opposite side of the spectrum don't go my way but I am ok with it because it's a democracy. It's healthy.
I am the same way with sports. I am not a blind homer for my teams. I say it all the time about my beloved Flames hockey team. It's a garbage organization. A loser franchise. If our rivals to the north didn't have a collective mental breakdown and trade away the most dominate athlete in history, would the Flames even have a cup in 89? Who knows but as a 39 year old, all I have ever really seen is losing from this loser franchise.
Frankly if this team doesn't do anything fairly soon performance wise, I may just take my insane amount of dollars I spend on them and just move on in life. If MY SIDE never actually wins, what's the purpose of this nonsense? Pain? Same thing in politics
