    the US “elections” have devolved into this

    just want leaders that fight for the people and fight for better rights and one that would fight for us to get better pay and one that would fight for us to get better healthcare and education and everything else that needs fixing like police reform

    guess name calling and badmouthing your opponent is all we get from candidates on either side anymore on top of empty promises

        Just to add… Jerry Springer was an incredibly popular politician and mayor of Cincinnati. Dude had his finger on the pulse of America.

      Thomas Jefferson implied his opponent was a hermaphrodite and Adams in turn said Jefferson was a pimp. Elections have always been this.
