It seems like modern American politics have a theme of "Put you're foot down, don't compromise, and if you don't get your way, don't play ball." Look at the rhetoric. Look at the lack of bipartisanship in congress. Liberals seem to have much more of a diverse world view than conservatives, so liberals seem to have much more complain about their candidates, so it's no surprise many of them often don't vote. They don't like the candidates offered to them so they're not gonna play ball and vote.

Yes. And yet, most of the legislation that gets passed between elections doesn't pertain to the hot button issues that divide the electorate. We don't need leaders and champions. We need people that will govern well.

I blame the media.
