Winning and Losing

There is no shame in losing an election. The way elections work is, someone wins, someone loses. Honorable people who lose an election typically concede or congratulate the winner, and they move on with their lives. There is shame in losing an election only if the person who lost is a bad sport who reacts childishly, refuses to concede, accuses the winner of cheating, throws tantrums, becomes obsessed, and just generally behaves like a crazy person. Losing an election doesn't make someone a Loser. Being a spiteful crybaby does.
