Why Do Political Campaigns Always Feel So Dramatic?

Imagine a game show, where the contestants are politicians, and the audience is voters. Everyone wants to win, so they try their best to look like the best. They shout loudly, make promises, and sometimes even argue with each other just to get attention. That’s how political campaigns work: they’re all about showing off and making people excited.
