Talk politics.

Yeah. The reason we keep ending up with all these people in power that 'no one likes' is simply because voters are willing to compromise (often a lot), for the sake of winning and staying in power. Well, that's not the only reason, but it's a big factor. Another is that often, you'll get people who vote based on just one or two key issues that are important to them, and compromise on the rest-- like abortion, or gay marriage, or whatnot. It's possible for people to vote in someone they agree with on some things, only to get the wool completely pulled over their eyes on other issues.
