in your opinion when did politics lost its integrity and became more of entertainment?
I'm just curious of what people thoughts on which presidential party or decade it happened.

First off, to some it's probably always been that way, I believe even the American founding fathers talked about debating as a game of one upmanship.
Though it probably goes back and forth between seriously and games.
But I've heard I've heard it started with the television becoming popular that it started becoming a more pure popularity contest.
Also, people say the parties don't work together, I believe they actually work together on certain issues such as keeping the parties and branding in control...
In theory America would be best if they didn't do the straight party voting BS! But the parties sort of work together there to keep the parties strength strong vs politicians individual voting and being accountant for their actions which gives the parties more power and control and the people less so... as it's a hell lot harder to actually judge them... as the party is making it muddy.
