...are gross.

Politics should be about presenting your side of the issue and how your plan can help fix problems.

But politics seems to have devolved into 'how can I get as many voters as possible?' and 'how can I keep people from voting for that other guy' with little thought given to what will happen once they're actually elected.

discuss


Edit* because apparently this topic is defunct.

Also discuss the effects this will have on the future leadership of america.

3 million dollars.

I think it was a bullshit case. I'd sue if I got my coffee cold with 3 flies and sperm in it, but I wouldn't sue if I got my coffee hot. I'd ****ing drink it.

What happend was she didn't know it was hot and spilled it all over herself and got burned.

But enough of that, let's go back to the original topic.

I love how the people on this forum so passionately rip on politics when they don't even understand them.

Politics is just the system that is used to determine who has power in the institution of government. (Two days of american government will make you say crazy things)

Politics itself isn't corrupt, the people involved in politics are corrupt. People in general are corrupt. 9/10 people who get some kind of power that they didn't previously have, they will abuse it in some way. It is just human nature.
