Collectively we (the voters) all are. Too many have been easy targets. We've (as an aggregate) allowed our selves to be easily swayed and frothed in to frenzies instead of taking a solid moment to calmly and rationally reflect on the actual history of the decision makers we're electing. Last election was, hopefully, a rock bottom. The actual choices offered were both really awful. My biggest issue is that I don't actually see a path for getting out of this pit we're in. "Regulatory capture" has everyone involved in politics addicted to money like those addicted to pain pills and the illegal drugs they are forced to turn to after the legitimate prescriptions expire. The USA /needs/ a real third, and fourth, and fifth party, and at least two of /those/ need to stay 'clean'.
