Why are politics so negative?

Answer 1

Most people learn to debate from their parents. And we all know that when parents debate it usually ends in an argument and results in them not fighting fair. Politics is no different. There is a whole lot of broken logic applied in politics. For example, if a = b and b=>c, then a = c. In politics, there is absolutely no consideration given to the fact that a>c. If its partially true or has a hint of truth, it's considered the gospel. It's unfortunate that our candidates have to resort to such tactics just to get elected. What funny is the people who continue to run for office after get beat. and I don't mean losing to the winner, I mean losing in the primaries. If you lose in a primary, you should be disqualified from competing. If you were in the Olympics and you lost in the preliminaries, that's the end of the story. You go home and try again in four years.
