I made it as far as "It's not just Republicans," in the 4th paragraph. Yeah, it's an other "discourse has gotten so bad" and "both sides do it" un-think piece.
@kuontom
Maybe read the whole thing first. It's just an article pointing out notable examples of 'nasty politics' and how voters receive it in polls.
Btw, you missed out this gem of Republican buffoonery
Edit: Also surely you notice the irony of your comment calling an article you didn't read an 'un-think piece'
