These are the same voters that just voted in the party that gave filibusters a bad name. Although this poll shows that this sentiment crosses partisan lines, I think that’s more exasperation than anything. I’m exasperated. We’re all exasperated. But we’ve just seen the most ridiculous bog-down/stalemate we’ve seen in years (in ALL my years… not so sure about the rest of American political history). So how do all these voters basically give the incoming a pass by voting for them, when their party has taken the practice to ends that threaten the operation of this system of government? And how do the voters expect this to IMPROVE by putting the same people in power that MODELED this very abuse for all to see?
This is both disturbing and befuddling.
