    If valid criticism of a candidate causes someone to decide not to vote for them, then so be it. That’s how democracy is supposed to work. What’s important is that people vote for who they want to lead them, period.

      America isn’t really a democracy though. You can’t apply idyllic democratic principles to an oligarchy with FPTP.
