Far too many people view politics in much the same way as they do when watching a show like Game of Thrones, House of Cards, or The Bachelor. In other words, they focus on the drama, the conflict, the personalities, etc., and very often choose sides as if being a cheerleader/spectator is enough.
I could not agree more. Especially in the age we're living in now where everywhere we look or listen there are opinions everywhere, but no basis or knowledge. This really is how I was hoping to approach politics, to uncover what's underneath all the noise so I'm glad I chose this class!
