An election is where we choose representatives to run our government. These people are supposed to make selfless decisions for the greater good of all its people. If you are stuck in a sports game mentality, you have completely missed the point. And we, as responsible citizens, must all keep pushing our elected officials to do the right thing and help all Americans prosper.
This is a process, not a game. And this process is never ending.

I agree except for white Americans. They should continue to be discriminated against by the United States government whether in hiring for government sector jobs, private sector jobs, service academies, military admissions and promotions, appointed political positions, government contracting on the local, national, state and US government contracting, and most certainly, University admissions for undergraduate, graduate, and professional school programs.
Any award program should be considered a racist failure for disproportionate numbers of whites winning the awards, whether apparently meritorious or not, because white people owe all their success to white privilege.
