Thing that has always fascinated me about partisan polyticks is just HOW FAR one side will go to show how completely fucked up their opponent is while almost daring you to question the colossal fuckedupedness that they are displaying right in front of your face.
Partisan Candidate for Elected Office: my fellow Americans (picks nose up to second knuckle) my opponent wants to raise your taxes (looks at the booger) my opponent is a repugnant, ill mannered turd burglar (eats the booger) and my opponent is an existential threat to our democracy...
Equally confusing is how many aMEricans are EXACTLY like me:
...aaaah fuck it. My candidate is a mother fucking nitwit, but ANYTHING is better to me than voting for the nose picking booger eating moron from the opposition party.
Hardly anyone ever sits down and talks about what they intend to do, how they intend to do it, and why they think it is the best way forward. Instead, they just throw their own shit at everyone from the opposition - its like watching a band of howler monkeys or chimpanzees throwing shit at people in the zoo.
Oddly enough, is not actually all that common for them to throw shit at each other in the wild - it's typically only observed in captive populations...
...sort of like a politician in front of a camera
On second thought - maybe it DOES make sense - and politicians are all really just a bunch of fucking chimps.
Maybe I'm just not watching enough left wing news to get to the real truth.
