Well, I live in California. My vote has never counted for anything, ever. I'm always in the political minority.

What happens if partisanship prevents the government from dealing with problems that individuals and private enterprise cannot or will not deal with?

If the majority agrees on the nature of the problem and the solution, then government will move forward. If a majority does not agree, then partisan politics
should prevent government action. Like "partisan politics", I reject the notion that government inaction is always a bad thing. Sometimes the best thing a representative can do is allow their contentiousness to prevent the government from "getting things done."
