i have no emotional troubles, i partied too hard and fucking damn enjoyed it.

excessive excess.

no issues here. your posts in the girl problems threads and your general social demeanour, on the other hand . . .

sorry marlo, which nietzsche book is that aphorism from? don't recognize that one . . .

And your post (as well as mine) boils down to the war of ideas between/amongst candidates.

How do you think those ideas get to the minds of the voters so said voters know which candidate's ideas align best with their own?

Except that currently the only debate is between two people.

People obviously do not care enough about an honest politician when there isn't even a viable third candidate. The partisan methods in place for decades now that demand an offering of money to run will never produce a different kind of politician. By definition. Change has to start outside the two parties.

Change has to start outside the election system and inside the legal system. There must be a balance struck between free speech and influence on political candidates and politicians (a la campaign finance reform). Even if there were a viable third candidate, with proxy outlet attacks by political machines from the other two parties--carefully carved out so as not to be traced back, of course--you run into what I referred to earlier: candidates spending more time defending themselves from specious attacks than getting their platform's message across to the electorate. Until the political strategy of destruction is reigned in somehow and until media outlets get various parties' dicks out of their mouths (and how can it be done without infringing on free speech?), neither you nor I nor anyone else will see that fixed.
