It may be a good idea for you to follow up on your elected officials outside of the election period in that case. See what bills are being proposed, and signed. Who they choose to put in their cabinet, what leaders they meet with and public statements they make.
If your idea of political news is opinionated partisan coverage during elections, then you're doing it wrong.
- avgcorrection 5y ago> If your idea of political news is opinionated partisan coverage during elections, then you're doing it wrong. But that’s the news. That’s what “following the news” means. The American media covers each federal election for, what, two years? Who except people who follow politics as a hobby will remember whatever “the news” was before that? (Sure, in more local elections things are bound to be better than that.) And you already have to be savvy in order to distinguish the partisan coverage from things that are more substantial—you don’t know what you don’t know. Whatever you are talking about is not on the topic of The News.
