To answer your question- none. There is no incentive. If anything, our vote may solidify their resolve. Which is why we are where we are. So I agree, a lesson is in order, but I think the best time for the lesson to take place is during the primary.
I speak with several folks around here that state they have always and will always vote democrat. And yet I find that they agree with me on various issues that would otherwise be held by a conservative or even a libertarian. But they simply refuse to vote republican because they have been told and they believe that republicans and conservatives are bad.
I am interested in hearing from you and others the criteria for your ideal candidate. For me, it is someone who will work to reduce the size of government; enforce existing laws; and promote the virtue of achievement and accountability. I think too many Americans have become dependent on the government. I wonder if many of us have forgotten what it means to actually work hard and sacrifice towards accomplishing a goal. That doesn’t mean the candidate or the candidate’s party should rub it in the faces of the opposition, instead they should inform, instruct, and maybe even inspire and convert those that oppose them. Show them what works and why it works better than what they practice.
