The American political system is, as everyone knows, entirely messed up, dysfunctional.
we seem to have a veritable bevy of mediocre political candidates, dysfunctional, disputatious leadership, and disastrous policy. Assume that we all are to blame, and leave it at that.
I wish we could all discuss philosophy and policy without engaging in personal attacks, and could learn to understand the opinions of those with whom we disagree, rather than distort and defame them.
We have a motley crew of republicans scrambling to run against a president with a very mixed resume thus far. Maybe what we need is a third major political party incorporating the best ideas from both liberals and conservatives.
Perhaps we need a political system in which running for president or other high office doesn't require millions of dollars.
