The two greatest discoveries by man to date remain government and democracy. Government for how it helped mankind evolve from a state of brutish and nasty disorder to a society of civilisation.

Democracy for giving all men (sic) and women a voice in dictating the affairs of their polity. That is why whoever ends up as the winner in a democratic contest always has the onerous task of unifying that polity.

This is usually more urgent in presidential elections, more so the ones that are closely fought like the August 2022 presidential election where the difference between the two leading candidates fits into the classical definition of neck to neck.
