It's a shame, because it means nothing important is actually being done, so nothing is getting better. Everyone is too busy either making outrageous statements, or reacting to them.
It's the same in Australia. There have been 7 leaders in 10 years[1], so for the last 10 years the only thing that has happened in Australia is a whole bunch of arguing about who is in charge, a bunch of very expensive elections, and a bunch of very expensive struggles to swap leadership, and very expensive by elections to replace the people who decide to leave after their own party votes them out.
Nothing is actually getting any better.
[1] I like to say Australia has had more coups than Congo :)
- krrrh 8y ago> Nothing is actually getting any better. This is an outrageously strong statement. Many of the things that have gotten better in history have benefitted from the state changing laws, but many many things improve without that. It’s important to remember that politics are only a component of society. Just as important, when “nothing” doesn’t happen, you can also get laws that make things worse, such as the encryption backdoor legislation.
