The responsibility lays with not having a persuasive enough argument so that your
guy loses and the other guy wins.
BT although that might be correct on one level, doesn't that response
on a practical level kind of discourage new topics or debate? In that no
matter what anyone says or complains about basically it boils down to....
"
sit down and shut up your guy didn't win because he
and you couldn't persuade enough people to vote for him/her"
Wouldn't it sort of be like if your buddy was complaining about
having poor health and you said "well if you had eaten right
and exercised enough this probably wouldn't have happened".
Probably true on some level, but see if that guy ever mentions
it again......why encourage people to clam up?
