Can anyone explain me why political debates are always about trying to prove why the other candidate is evil and you an angel instead of why their political goals, methods, goals, etc, are better than the ones of the other candidate, based on logical arguments?

Political debates are like kids throwing shit at each other, instead of argumented debates.

We have decent debates over here in the UK.

American politics are a fucking joke.

It's unfortunate but it's about getting the best sound bites and one-liners in. Probably because we Americans mostly can't handle contemplating nuanced arguments and we want everything easy to digest.

I'm not convinced. I want to see our candidates debate your candidates over this issue. Tongue
