It would be great if we had that one candidate who believed in our values completely and still had the best chance to win but unfortunately the “political see saw” exists instead. Where a person might have to decide to support a candidate who isn’t sharing their entire philosophy because this candidate is more likely to win then the one they truly desire. it is the issue of settling and if and when we should make this balance or even consider sitting on the side? Settling is never easy but the key is to find the basic values that are unmovable in your heart and soul, then determine whether this candidate or office can truly have an impact on those values in your location. Depending on how you determine location and the significance of these values will help you to determine whether you should move the balance beam or leave it alone.
