A race to the bottom. While we have always had flawed politicians, it seems to me that more of these fuckers are running for office and in some cases, winning elections. Our tolerance has grown for these flawed fuckers and we are willing to support them if we think they will win. I don't know if we will be able to change this sorry course we're on.
