Whether you are on the Right or the Left, everyone can agree that there are a lot of outside influences in American politics that are not good for the system. There's just too much money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn't attract the most sincere people.
Politics isn't about left versus right; it's about top versus bottom.
I've always been very suspicious of the left-right dimension in politics.
The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
When dealing with American politics, you try to follow the money, and that's where it leads you. It doesn't take you to the electoral college or to Princeton. It takes you down the darker alleys of American life.
There are times in politics when you must be on the right side and lose.
In the U.S the right is very wide. From Neo con's to almost Anarchist.
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't.
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
I have a lot of stands on a lot of political issues. I'm very big on campaign finance reform. I still think most Americans aren't aware of how the dumping of big corporate dollars and private donor dollars has totally corrupted the political system and taken it away from them.
