Oh hey, a new buzzfeed video

Not always /this/ bad, but it's been kind of a shit-show circus for a lot longer than people like to admit (the current two-party system basically settled in over George Washington's grave and has been basically one degree or another of Batshit Insane ever since).

Part of why I trend towards Sanders is that he seems less inclined to treat politics like a goddamned game show. There's a lot of nastiness boiling up this election /because/ of how we've historically treated politics like very polite (compared to just butchering your neighbors) tribal warfare, and because of growing public awareness as to /why/ the system is so fucked that we've been electing 'the lesser of two evils' for as long as anyone can remember.

Extra Credits and CGP Grey have some great videos on the subject if you've got the time.
