Real issues ignored in election season

Recently, in a Daily Viewpoint, (Gaining a little Primary appreciation, 2/3) Sarah Molenkamp implored us to appreciate the purity of American democracy. We should all be thankful, she said, for the "marvel of our government at work" and the fact that we have "such a strong establishment." Inspired to an exercise in national appreciation, I would like to take Molenkamp's advice quite literally, and marvel at our strong American government establishment.
