I think the 24-hour news cycle has helped exaggerate the differences between the parties. You can always find someone on TV somewhere carping about something. That didn't happen 20 years ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Before the Internet, we were in a different sort of dark age. We had to wait to hear news on TV at night or in print the next day. We had to go to record stores to find new music. Cocktail party debates couldn't be settled on the spot.
I couldn't have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.
I am not a very social person and have a few friends who have been with me since school and college. I hate going to parties and events and would rather sit at home and watch TV. Parties are the place where controversies happen.
I don't like parties past 2 am. Then it's all losers and weirdos.
I think people are getting bored of parties, and hosts are terrified nobody's going to show up. So they have to start entertaining them before the party even starts.
People in both parties are restless for change, ready to break free of old patterns in Washington.
Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.
The really interesting moment will be when you have a critical mass of people engaging through the networks, more than through the press and TV. When that happens, the culture of politics has to change, moving away from controlled one-way messages towards a political culture that is more questioning.
My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.
Every party is the same: too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.
