I've heard a surprising amount of QAF fans say they found the election stuff boring and lame. I'm just like whaaaat?! It was super interesting to me because it all had such a profound influence on the characters' lives. And I think they built up the drama brilliantly.

(While keeping the sex and the fun, dangit. )

I can live without politics too, but in the show, they made it interesting

I don't like them or find them very interesting in real life either, but the part that directly affects me I find important. And I thought it was exciting in the show.

Politics causes a lot of problems in our society, just a very divisive thing. it gives me a damn headache. But I enjoyed watching it's portrayal on this show.

Politics suck all over the place. If only it was as simple as putting some ads on tv by Brian Kinney and fixing everything. That would be so cool

It sucks that things are not like they are on this show.

Our last couple elections have felt that intense for me, only the last one didn't turn out to be a happy ending like on QAF...

I definitely agree. It's a bitter reality we've had to face for a while now.
