Thanks for linking that entire post...including this part of it...

Here is one reality: a president everyone hates goes to the candidates who feed that hate and who hope to succeed him, and he helps them to not hang themselves or the nation upon the noose of excessive expectations, doled out at whim. He does this not for their good, or for his, but for the good of the nation, the country that rejects him, and the sake of the world. That is selfless, mature, honorable and statesmanlike. Take a good look, you may not see such a one again.

Another reality: If you don’t vote in the next election because the candidates aren’t perfect enough for you - they don’t live in that Mirror of Erised where you can gaze on your happy, perfect dreams - then you will get the government you deserve.

And the last reality: You won’t like it.
