I also had a near perfect record on the measures being settled in the opposite of my vote. Again there was one exception, the vote to expand the Senior Center failed which is what I wanted.
It was amazing how many of the contests were won by a 1-2% margin. Our individual votes are important since a very narrow gap separates the winner from the vanquished. It also shows there is not landslide victory for the winner. Almost the same number of people felt the other way.
Maybe what we need are moderates to be elected who would let both sides achieve some of their goals. Short of that, our two party system which seems to swing back and forth every 8 years, is a nice way to achieve balance over the long run.
