You clearly missed my point.

Let me get this straight:

Are you ok with people saying that they regret their vote after making their vote? What does it tell you about those people? And it doesn't matter for what they've voted for.

(1)Yes, I'm OK with that. Because I don't wanna judge the decisions of other adult persons.

(2)You missed my point: these people were always there and will always be. The worrying part is, that this time in this two elections they are pointed out and it is made a fuss about it. That means, that a lot of people aren't willing anymore to accept the result of an election, if it doesn#t suit them. This is the really worrysome part. And it isn't the only sign, there are much more signs that the willigness to accept the results of an election is eroding.

(1) Example:

The teaching of evolution shall be replaced with creationism in schools. Your position is on evolution, because that one is a scientific theory supported by evidence. Evolution is a fact. Creationism is not a scientific theory, it's not even science. People vote for creationism, because it's what they believe in and think that evolution is just a theory. After making their vote, creationism does indeed win. And evolution is being banned in schools. Some people who didn't know much about the subject or didn't care much about the subject at all voted for creationsism and regret their vote after the outcome is clear and realise what the topic is about. So, they wish they could have voted for evolution instead. Even worse, the people who were misinformed or didn't care are now in the majority for the evolution vote.

And you tell me you would be OK with that, because you don't wanna judge the decision of other adult persons. This is an extreme example so I can make my position clear on this topic. It's not to insult anyones believes. But I didn't wanted to make it to difficult to undestand. Do you understand where I am going with this?

(2) Accepting the results and regretting the vote immediately after voting for the results has nothing to do with each other and nothing what this thread has to do with that. A democraty have always an opposition and accepting the result, doesn't mean you also have to comply with everything that follows.
