The United States is in serious trouble as a country. The population as a whole is so amazingly ignorant. We watch 'our' politicians regurgitate meaningless platitudes about how the 'other guys' are evil, but 'we' are righteous. All the while they simply battle each other for control rather than using their influence for the betterment of the country. They throw us scraps to appease us. Divide us and then pit us against each other to divert our Attention. The great 'American Sheeple'. Politicians are the very lowest among us. They are the only class of people who are guilty until proven innocent in my book. Our system is irreparably broken.
There was always an element of 'politics' in our government. Now there is nothing but politics and zero government. All of the current Democrat Presidential candidates talk in broad utopian pipedream language. They pander to potential voters and slam the other guy. None of them has a real workable platform or policy idea.
Everyone wants to be part of something grand.
