I see a lot of people complaining about politicians. They say "Oh politicians are useless, they dont do anything for us!" I see more and more people just deriding their political system because it does something or doesn't do something, and to me this is absolutely depressing because it misses a point the size of a small country.
The vast majority of political figures are elected, meaning WE put them there. If we have issues with how they act, then perhaps we shouldnt elect them. Whenever I bring this point up, the usually response is "Oh those liberals/conservatives/democrats/republicans have screwed it up for people who DO try to change things!"
I cant help but wonder if we actually ENJOY an extremely polar political climate where all we do is argue.
