I don't think I've ever said I hated FDR; I don't really know much about the guy to know if I hate him or not. However, my opinion of him has nothing to do with whether or not the rest of the country believes he is a good enough man for the job.
I've said this time and time again, but fairness in elections matters more than the result of the election itself. That is why I voted for AV in the UK, even though my party voted against it, and stats showed that my party would most likely lose seats if AV was implemented. AV is a fairer voting system than FPTP, so if my party lose seats with it, all it shows is that they should not have had those seats in the first place.
