Washington DC, Toronto, Politicians

My friends I met at Washington DC, where I went once because my bus going back to Toronto from New York, left in the middle of the night, Willow and Emilia and Eli, communicated how they felt about my other classmates and me through their talks about politicians and evil people. It turned out the politicians were evil into little girls, young girls and children. Well, that’s what they told me. That sounded pretty evil to me. That’s why they protested with the organization like USA flare. I on the other hand have the same thoughts as them. But I was shocked to know what they were into for the first time. Is that a knowledge you could only have if you live in Washington DC? I went to whippersnapper once over the last few years. The artists there criticized John Tory with their works. But they criticized him on the basis of his policy that gentrified people, groups and community. That seems quite valid to me as well. Is politics a topic best engaged in debate?
