People like to complain, and if you’re even marginally aware of the recent headlines, there’s a LOT to complain about.
Exactly .... I wouldn't be talking about politics if politics had just stayed out of affecting my life in so many stupid, terrible and sometimes horrible ways
I prefer politics remain just plain boring press conferences from a dumb politician trying to figure out how to raise finances to build a highway or fix a bridge or upgrade water services.
It feels weird to have nostalgia for a time when the corrupt politicians, morally questionable revolutionaries and war crime loving generalissimos of the world at least tried to look respectable on the surface. You know, speak in complete, reasonably complex sentences and all that.
I'll be honest: I'd probably still be talking about politics. But at least it'd be more confined to appropriate communities rather than spilling over into every aspect of life.
