Because america is different when it comes to politics

they used to be before Trump showed up in 2016, he pretty much turned elections into ridiculous popularity contests with outrageous claims and insults

I am so over politics as it's currently done in my country. I want to go back to boring debates between boring candidates, and campaigns that won't determine whether or not I'm going to live another 4 years. Please? Somebody make it happen?

american here. we're really not like this irl. last nights debate was fun to watch, but the media coverage is what people remember and it's always over the top sensationalism
