How is the political system "toxic"?

Advertisements [?]

I don't understand what people mean by that. It's a new buzzword, it seems to me, to refer to politics, which has ALWAYS been nasty, especially for powerful spots like president. "Toxic" seems to mean, it's worse than nasty - uniquely nasty.

Can someone explain how precisely our system is toxic?
