>In 2008, Barack Obama and Brendan Eich both were against gay marriage...Barack Obama inexplicably remains, as of this writing, president of the United States of America, but Mr. Eich has just been forced out as CEO of Mozilla because of his political views. Nonsense. A two-party political horse race is not analogous. If you don't like one or more views your closest candidate has, the ONLY other alternative is often MUCH worse on the whole, not only for your issue of choice, but a range of them. Compare that to selecting a leader of an organization that is not structured to return profit to shareholders, but instead carry out a social and ethical objective and it is easy to see why a leader that is NOT ethical (in the view of significant numbers of people inside the org and "customers/users" outside the org) would be deemed not qualified to hold the job. Couple that with plethora of other viable candidates (as opposed to the two-person horse race of a presidential run), and the analogy doesn't just fall flat, it refuses to exist.
