If you have been paying attention to the recent political shitstorm, I mean, the 2012 Election, you'll have noticed that politicians have gone from trying to be stately gentlemen to wild animals and boxers intent on getting as many crotch shots as possible.
More and more politicians, it seems like (me and my fellow Democrats included) seem to be wanting to get into office by claiming "they won't compromise." I'm sorry, but won't that just cause more problems? Won't that just make the Congressional approval ratings just slide further down the tube?
Honestly, those aren't the important question. The important question is why are they like this in the first place? I know the answer has to do with us, we're the ones who voted them in. But still: what have we told our candidates that would make them think treating debates like boxing matches is acceptable?
