This is the best scientific explanation of why we'll never get the exact candidate we want. If he's perfect for us then 60 percent of the voting electorate views him as poison. Great presentation.

I don’t know, I’m pretty happy with the candidate we got!

Sounds interesting.

But, I will not watch a 24 minute video to hear the explanation.
Not directed at you or anyone else. Just my personal opinion.
I hate the emphasis on video presentations.

Yeah, I’m an old fart that reads about 500-600 wpm. Even much faster if I’m looking for the main point.

I simply don’t have time to listen to rambling presentations on every subject that might interest me.

However, I’m quite certain my rant isn’t going to change anything. But, it felt good to vent that frustration.

Thanks for reading!

*WE* are the 60++ percent, and we got exactly the candidate we wanted.

You said:

And:

This is the best scientific explanation of why we’ll never get the exact candidate we want. If he’s perfect for us then 60 percent of the voting electorate views him as poison. Great presentation.

So, if I’m correct, you’re saying:

This is the best scientific explanation of why we’ll never get the exact candidate we want. If he’s perfect for us then 60 percent of the voting electorate views him as poison. Great presentation.

That about sum it up?

“This is the best scientific explanation of why we’ll never get the exact candidate we want.”

Junk science - and the author should speak for himself - because I got the candidate I wanted in 12 out of 19 races - the ones I didn’t want are followed by an X.

1952 Eisenhower
1956 Eisenhower
1960 Nixon
1964 Goldwater
1968 Nixon
1972 Nixon
1976 Ford X
1980 Reagan
1984 Reagan
1988 Bush X
1992 Bush X
1996 Dole
2000 Bush X
2004 Bush X
2008 McCain X
2012 Romney X
2016 Trump
2020 Trump
2024 Trump

12 out of 19 - I’d say that’s a pretty solid lifetime record, and if I live long enough, I suspect I’ll get the candidate I want twice more (Vance).

There is no such thing as "perfect". There are only acceptable levels of imperfection.

Once you accept that you have begun to move from being a child into an adult mind set.

The world is imperfect and messy.

Deal with it.
