1. Isn't that what our reps have been doing?
Carrying the losing red team to a win?

I'm not sure I "get" any other political analogy here.

It's heartwarming, of course, to see good sportsmanship on the field of a GAME, which is entertainment.

I don't think sports is a good analogy for politics, though. It's not a game.

2. Actually I think it reflects our (my) philosophy of life.
We help (should help) those who need help regardless of whether or not it benefits ourselves. Isn't that sort of what the differences between Rep vs Dem are on Healthcare? Yes, simplified, but sometomes things can be as simple as that.

And I think we'd like to believe that politics is not a game, but in reality that's exactly what politics is. There is strategy, luck, and expertise in both...and there are definitely winners and there are losers. Some play fair, some do not. IMO of course. :hi:
