Have you watched US presidential debates across the decades?

They've objectively gotten meaner and dumber with each cycle.

It definitely seemed to get very sides-like-sports-teams in the mid 90s just after this (when Newt was speaker) and just gotten progressively worse over time.

You can also see that Congress has become this trash: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figures?id=10.1371...

I think a large contribution to this behavior is the limited number of representatives. A terrible law and a huge disservice to the American people.

Also, you know, gerrymandering.

The US needs a constitutional amendment that just picks one of the mathematically-based methods for evaluating voting districts and makes it mandatory.
