Eh, too much of a negative view in my opinion. I don't know how we can really go by the situation of our past, considering we've had two terms of the same president. (Because not every president is bad, believe it or not). I don't really know how to tackle a view on an overall negativity towards politics as a whole. I mean, I can wrestle with a republican for hours, but when it comes to convincing what's good and bad on this "larger" scale, it's too much of a hassle. All I can say is to really wonder: are politics really deserving of such pessimism?
