I remember weeks ago, people saying it was as bad here as Primary 2004 |
|
I think we can all now safely say that it's about 10 THOUSAND TIMES WORSE.
Finally, something we can all agree on.
And Bush still sucks.
That is all.

3. Much worse this time around. Partly cuz campaigns now know the power of the internets |
|
and partly because our culture has had four more years of crap so people think crap is normal. There is all spin all the time and no real discourse now. People just don't know how to have constructive discussions anymore. What's worse is so many don't want to even try.

4. I also think it's because it's gone on for so long. |
|
I mean, look at this? I've never seen a primary this close in my life.
But I do think that supporters are more rabid than ever before, and resorting to low personal attacks.

6. People are angry, fed up, hurt and sinking to the lowest common denominator |
|
bush years: the bar just keeps getting lower.

They're letting the personal attacks go this time. I don't really like it. Overall, I feel like 2008 is less substantive.

8. It is Much Worse, Because We Have Weaker Candidates This Time (And They Know It) |
