I'd rather have one party slinging mud than two. Apparently there's a lot of people who want "revenge" and permission to be nasty "because that's what the other guys do". Go ahead, if that's what tickles your pickle, but I'm not joining in. I don't want to sink to the lowest common denominator.
I'd like to think the Democrats will win because the Republicans will get nothing of substance done during the next 3.9 years and the Democrats will come up with some decent plans for the nation. It seems like a lot of people just want to see the Democrats get better at slinging mud instead. I don't agree with this.
I’d rather have democrats in power for more than four months over 40 years so they can actually fix things.
Because that’s what always happens: Republicans sling mud and break shit, Democrats get elected because shit is broken and refuse to sling mud to fix it, and then Democrats lose because they won’t sling mud.
But if you don’t want to break the cycle we’ve been stuck in since Reagan because it’s mean then I don’t know what to tell you.
It doesn't need to be this way. Look at some other functional countries around the world. Not every single one is a mud-slinging hell.
It has to be this way because they are making it this way. We have tried being nice for decades and they won’t stop.
And that’s not even getting into the structural issues with our government - like relying way too much on tradition and decorum - that make being nice to the opposition a losing strategy.
Also, there have been fist fights on the floor of many legislatures around the world so don’t go thinking the grass is always greener.
But it doesn't! Have fun playing their game. You're not convincing me, but you're also not alone in your beliefs. People are out for blood, and some of them will get it.
You’re right. It doesn’t. They are making it this way.
Go argue with them about it.
