There's a lot of truth to that. And I hold equally responsible the political 'aficionados' that regard elections and cycles as little more than sporting events, each hoping that their 'team' wins the 'championship' and seeking to attain that end by resorting to arguments about the remote and arbitrary.

But more directly to your point, I find the duality of the political tiresome. As per voting, I have a choice between the representative of Party A that is in power and has screwed things up, or the representative of Party B that is not in power but screwed things up the last time. What kind of choice is that?
