Politics has been turned into a sport

To the editor: Who's that in the mirror?
It's a new morning. We arise, look into the mirror and who do we see?
That we have turned politics into a new, ongoing sport. Someone who is confused between campaigning and actual governance. The belief that one man or woman can do it all. That everyone and everything has to be 'fighting.” Issues that might take more than one or two clicks to solve aren't worth the time. Confusing stump speech sound bites for real deliberation and debate.
Oh my, we look in the mirror and who do we see? We see us.
