I always assume most political ads are funded by shady people.

A lot of them that attack a candidate say they're funded by some group. Just ignore that and assume they're funded by the person with the most to gain. The one running against them. The money might not be coming from that person directly, but since the ad benefits them, you can just imagine it's them saying it.

Can't we have a couple politicians that say "much respect to the other guy but I disagree with how they'd do things, here's what I'd do instead". And then have a civil debate where they shake hands before and after and you don't get the impression you're mortal enemies with the other guy's team/voters.
