Electability

[Gregorian]

3. How does one separate human faults from candidate faults?

But first, there is something that keeps coming to my mind when we are asked if we'll vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. Will they vote for Bernie if he is the nominee? I don't have a means of judging the likelihood of how many Clinton supporters will vote for Bernie. Do you have any thoughts on that? My feeling is that if we are this divided, the likelihood of them voting for Bernie is the same as that for Bernie supporters in the similar situation. This is a part of electability as well, since if the whole team doesn't act as one, the electibility of our candidate goes down.

The notion of separating out behavior from the being is one I struggle with. It's along the lines of knowing how to deal with resentment, I believe. How can they be separate? Don't they both come from the same center? No? Once again I'm reminded of a perfect being in an imperfect vessel, and I suppose part, if not all, of the answer lies therein.

Now I must get outside and walk through the rain. And I have a tree that is down, and needs to be dealt with. I try to live between the cracks of the election. Not much time for life. I love it.
