Does Politics Need To Be Negative?

Does Politics Need To Be Negative? For those of us who never had very positive feelings about politics, the presidential campaign validates our mindset and strengthens our belief that politics is dirty and deceitful. Our gut reaction might be disgust, and the consequence of this most likely is the avoidance of all politics. So when we encounter politics in the workplace, we tend to see it in the same negative light. We react much the same way we do when we witness national or local politics in action. We avoid it. We believe we are taking the high road by remaining under the radar.
