Who thinks the conversation gets way over the top during the elections?
It's so partisan that I don't feel like anyone with a sizable lean is being very objective or open-minded about their party's stance on the issues. All they're interested in is attacking and slandering the opposition candidates and their supporters to the point of seeming a little insane.
The media is so dishonest with their reporting news out of context that I don't know what to believe anymore. It's all becoming hyperbolic rhetoric and twisting the information to fit their narrative. But try and be less subjective, and more honest and balanced, only leaves you ignored and disliked by both over-emotional groups.
I worked 30 years in a combative profession and try to avoid arguments like the plague. Sometimes, I know you have to get aggressive with people to get heard and taken seriously but what we have now is pure chaos and unproductive.
