I was looking at a website today of a foreign embassy (research, research, research), and the Twitter feed on the side was all about how they can't believe the American democracy has devolved to its present state. <br /><br />I'll have to look up your Facebook post, Andi!

As for the news media, it's entertainment, not news.

The presidential ones are bad, too.

However, we get TV channels from Reno, and NV is awash in nastiness. Ugh. I'm holding off until the day after elections, and if at that point the people spouting hate don't shut up on FaceBook, I'm unfriending them all. People need to accept and move on and hope for the best instead of expecting the worst and whining about it!

A democracy depends on LOTS of people exercising their right to vote...and once the will of the majority is known...supporting the new government. That's where I'm crossing my fingers. Since the Gore V Bush brouhaha, that's been a problem (esp. regarding Congress)...getting behind the new president. If we can't show pride in our democracy, other countries rightly wonder why we 'sell' it so vociferously.

I really have to tune it out to keep my sanity. I wonder if as a people as a whole we're all depressed. I don't know why we would treat each other so pitifully otherwise.
