What happened to politics?

Disagreement is from all times, but it used to be about things like:
- Should we subsidize housing or offer job coaching to get homeless people back on their feet?
- Should we try diplomacy or supply weapons to the resistance to stop the killing of innocent people?

Somehow that changed into: should we do anything for the homeless and save innocent people or not?

How did we go from discussing the best approach of protecting human rights to discussing ethics and morals? 🤔
And what do voters think to gain from giving up on human rights?

@KunsanVeteran @trollslayer I'm not saying he was a bad president, but honestly, all the name calling really started with Bill Clinton. That's when they started allowing that sort of thing in debates.

@LordShadowfire Many say it began with Lee Atwater. Then God struck him down.

@trollslayer Well, I don't know about that, but I do remember they changed the rules for presidential debates when Bill was running. Before that, candidates weren't allowed to interrupt each other and they were expected to maintain a certain level of decorum.
