Talent and Unity Squandered

In the Democratic Debate Hillary Clinton echoed the beliefs of Martin Luther King Jr. in acknowledging the great diversity of equality on the stage in the forms of herself, Barack Obama, and John Edwards.  These three individuals show the strength that is America.  And due to the importance of the position at hand, these three are obligated to fight amongst themselves and serve as a blight on this prosperity in the hope that one of them can improve the country as President.  This logic is horrendous, is not what the country needs and should be frowned upon at every turn.

 

Politics is a game.  An extremely serious game, but still a game.  The application of “game theory” by John Nash should at least be a consideration.  If three people fervently pursue the same goal then all three most likely will come off the worse for it due to unnecessary competition.  Sure one may obtain the goal, but he may be a lesser person for it.  When the three work together they can all be better off for it.  Sure the goal might have altered, but an improvement of who they are compared to who they were should be evident.

 

I hate viewing self-destruction and implosion period, but this spectacle under the guise of progress and constructive exercise is infuriating to a degree that I can hardly fathom let alone measure.  These three democrats are truly missing the opportunity to forge the change they frequently mention and sincerely aspire for.
