Is it compromise if you're ALWAYS the one not getting what you want?
Isn't that surrender?
"It's a tough choice, but I had to vote for the person the news told me could win."
So where was the choice? At what point in the process did you feel you had power over the outcome? You didn't, did you?
You felt fucking trapped the whole time, which is really fucking confusing because your vote is supposed to be your choice, your power, your ability to influence things in the direction they should go.
