You are misunderstanding how the system is supposed to work.

We have a responsibility to vote, but no candidate is owed a vote.

The government is meant to execute the will of the people. That's why we live in a democracy. That means that the government is supposed to work for you. The politicians are supposed to essentially be public workers that are hired via votes of the citizens.

These public workers are supposed to be a reflection of the will of the people. If they don't match what we want, then they don't win.

No one is owed our votes. They are supposed to earn it.
