I was recently talking about this topic with a coworker. It can be easy to be agreeable and not rock the boat. One other colleague seems to be demanding group think and following his lead. This can be dangerous as in the Challenger, keeping quiet at Boeing, and the rise and fall of Mike Lazairidis who invented the Blackberry.
It would be great to get direction on how do you go about being the "Dissenter in Chief" to overcome group think.
It's reality avoidance to believe it is easy to toss out the votes of millions of primary voters, vet a candidate, replace them on the ballots in 50 states, have an uncontested election, have press coverage be 100% positive about the entire thing. *Historically* the reality is that if Democrats replace their candidate, Trump wins. Unfollowed.

Thank YOU
While I often enjoy and learn from your column, anyone who quotes Ayn Rand loses me for whatever follows. It would be hard to find a better precursor to Trumpism. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-this-is-what-happens-when-you-take-ayn-rand-seriously
