Oh, we need the institution of democracy, just not pounded in your face with character attacking commercials on TV. If you base your vote on something you saw on a TV commercial, then you don’t understand the process. Unfortunately, most people do just that, vote for someone because of a TV ad instead of doing the research and finding out the real deal. Most people are too lazy to do that tho, too busy watching cat videos I guess.
None of this is directed at you by the way!
