General Discussion

The only things I want to hear about a Candidate is:
Will they work for all their Constituents?
Do they understand how Negotiations work? Like, do they understand the Perfect is the Enemy of the Good, and Winner Take All means one person wins and everyone else loses.
Do they understand Governance? That everyone has their own personal needs and opinions; the best representatives will look at what can at least provide something positive for everyone; support programs encouraging growth, while maintaining the safety net for those who aren't in the position or have the capability to just "grow".
The population they are elected to care for are majority average on a bell curve, which means there are two minorities on either side; those privileged few with access to additional opportunities or skills, and those wanting few, who have access to few skills or opportunities.
What I look for is someone who focuses on flattening the bell curve, not focusing on one end or the other of the curve.
