Has politics become more about entertainment than solving real issues or has it always been that way?

It's about people smacking each other with their word-dicks and playing up to their fans. They don't solve problems, they are the problems.

Yes, it's a shit sandwich and we have to eat it.

lancetroy it has i guess but charismatic politicians deflect from the real problems of the day

It's certainly been taken to a whole new level.

If you believe that what is happening now is just politics you have not been paying attention. The US republic is under attack from within by a mind control cult fronted by SJW warriors. Do try to keep up.

It has become the one up game.

Whoever provides the best response is the winner. We live in a world where everything is measured by the snark used in response to every issue.

The right claps loudly when Trump say vile shit because they think it is funny.

The left claps loudly when we snark back.

No one is getting work done because the only goal is to say the better thing so your supporters will keep voting for you despite your lack of progress on any issue.
