The first problem with american politics is that we have seem to lost all care and regard for the other parties wants, and needs. We have lost the ability to say, "Ok, I want these three things, and you want these three things. How can we work together to make it happen?" In american politics now, the candidates only seem to care about their own parties needs and wants, and not on what is the best for the country.
The second problem with american politics, is that it has turned into a massive reality TV show. The fact that some one with out political experience can even think about running for president, (and win at that!) should not be able to happen. Candidates are no longer talking about how we can fix our country, but now talking about how he or she done not "look" fit to run the country. We no longer talking about the economy, or the housing crisis, but we have digressed to mindless discussion on topic that are not important at the time.
American politics has many flaws and problems with it, too many to bring up now. I feel with some strong change, we will be able to change the system for the better, and make sure that all parties needs are met.
Jack I really like how you almost told this like a conversation so it was engaging yet easier to understand as well. I also think that your somewhat hopeful yet disappointed tone throughout the piece also displays how a lot of Americans are feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteI think you brought up a really good point about how people don't care about what the other parties want. I have never really thought about it, but now I realize that in politics everyone should get what they want to the best of the governments ability.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with your opinion that people with no political experience shouldn't be able to run for president, but I understand what you were trying to say.

I totally agree with your second point about how politics has become like a reality show. That is a great way of putting it and its honestly very sad. You made a great and engaging argument, nice job.
ReplyDeleteI would say the same thing about how America is turning into a massive TV reality show. Why do people value this more then working together to advance America as a whole?

ReplyDeleteI also agree that American politics has turned into a kind of reality tv show. I think it has turned into candidates doing what they have to do to get elected, without the consideration of what's really best for our country. I agree that the two parties have been less willing to work together to have a cooperative country
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you are stating, like our politics focus on everything except the main issues that should be our main focus
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree with you, but we've actually had some pretty decent presidents with zero political background. Dwight D Eisenhower never held office before he ran for president and he didn't set the country on fire. That being said, Trump is, as Obama put it, "uniquely unqualified" and this entire election has felt like a publicity stunt and I'm just so sad and disgusted by the way the country responded to him.
