Elections regarding public offices and issues are obviously subjective.
I beat the dead political horse some more --
Desired (liberal, conservative, etc.) > Compromise > Unacceptable
(conservative, liberal, etc.)
For lots of folks the sequence is reversed.
Determining the *value of each outcome* is rather difficult.
What is the value / social utility of a Hitler, a Stalin or a Washington in a
public office ???
The *laws* of physics, chemistry, etc. are obviously objective (regardless of
the opinions of human folks) -- thus the rise of the *scientific method*
since the Middle Ages for the deciphering of mother nature.
