∴ Politics as Sport
Excellent observation by Dave Winer @davewiner:
Many people see politics as I see sports. There are two teams, and my team is going to beat yours, and nothing else matters. Winning is everything. And that’s a bad mistake.
Yes, I don’t think the current two political parties accurately portray the nuances of American citizens. Political issues are not all black and white, us versus them. Having this confrontational and winner takes all attitudes is tearing the country apart from the inside.
Pragmatism and political compromise is disdained. And, this is a damn shame for us (as citizens) and the generations behind us.
