Frankly, it's very devisive, very mean-spirited, and very counter-productive in the long run. The biggest threat to America isn't anything foreign, it's your own internal divisions.
That's largely what politics are in the US. It's not about getting anything done it's about making sure you bring down the other side. And BOTH sides do it.

I mean I lean towards the democratic side but I think it really is just the lesser of two evils, I am not a fan of either party. The entire political system in the US needs a major overhaul in my opinion.
