Politics has vastly more time for nuance when politicians are allowed to do their jobs instead of being Twitter celebrities constantly on the lookout for the next scandal, both defensively and offensively.

I suspect if we didn't hear from our politicians for 2 years, everyone across the country would like the outcome.

Eh, politics was devoid of nuance long before Twitter.

Shifting the blame through scandal to take attention away from your failure and ignorance is the longest political tradition of humanity.

But in the days of Twitter, you can't take a breather.

Devoid is an overly strong word. There has never been zero nuance, and there isn't zero nuance today.
