      In their wildest power fantasies, Liberals imagine themselves winning 50.1% of the vote, and even that they feel bad about because wanting to win is vulgar.

        It's a balancing act. You need 50%+1 to be in power, but anywhere beyond 50%+2 means there are people you could be selling out for more bribes and you're leaving money on the table.

      Libs are absolutely convinced that a number higher than 60% means that the election was faked. Americans are so frequently and thoroughly screwed by our own government that we reject any pretense that it's possible for one to do good things or be liked by its citizenry.
