I think part of the problem with politics is just how different the two main parties are becoming. Having to get two sides to agree isn't always a bad thing but the two sides to American politics are getting more different as time goes on. Nobody ends up happy with that arrangement.

I mean I would really like if governments around the world cared about climate change a long time ago, but not enough people cared. Now it's going to be expensive to fix and society still pushes against that even though they have nobody to blame but themselves. I think politics just reflects all the problems with society, so I don't think politics is what needs fixing. I think politics being fixed is a happy by-product of society sucking less.
