Answer:
D. The public is distracted from real issues.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know, our political system is full of incompetent politicians who cannot do a job that can solve the country's problems and provide us with a better standard of living. Because of this lack of competence, many people in our country suffer from hunger, unemployment, crime, lack of opportunity, injustice, among other bad things.
During the elections, candidates should discuss these issues and show what they intend to do and what they have done during their political career to solve these problems. However, touching on these issues will show all the incompetence these candidates have been cultivating for years, so to distract voters, they prefer to spend their entire election campaign criticizing and attacking each other.
