Yeah, unfortunately it's gotten to the point where folks root for political parties like they do their favorite sports team and their rival. They revel in the defeat of the rival team as much (if not more) as they revel in their own team's victory.
Hmm, interesting truly.
I'll admit, I wanted the democrats to lose the election- after everything that happened pre-election and the fact that they had been in office for 8 years. But it's weird, I used to think I was on their team and I definitely don't consider myself on the other team but you're right that's not a good way to make a decision.
I guess it's just I don't feel like I have a team anymore so it just sucks because our choices are so limited when it just comes down to a few candidates, it's just choosing who you find the least horrible.

Another issue it creates is that we have a watered down democracy. When it comes to important issues, citizens have two real options: how the Democrats tell their members to feel about an issue and how Republicans tell their members to feel. As a result, instead of individuals freely voting with logic, they are reduced to voting for two options based On whether a D or an R is beside the issue at hand.
When that's the case, at the end of the day are we really free citizens telling the government what we want or are we just a bunch of plebs that the government tells how to feel?
