The question that co fronts them: how do you lose but NOT accept that you’re a loser? You sure don’t concede or don the mantle of “vanquished” and swallow your bitter medicine. They seem to want to just avoid reality when they don’t like it, instead of accepting the lesson being presented and learn AND GROW - AND CHANGE - so you become a more realistic alternative.

But when you can’t even admit, much less accept, that you’re on the wrong track, you’re gonna get yer ass handed to you by a majority of voters.
