I agree with you 100%. Politicians have set a new low bar.

Hear hear

.... If we
continue to accept some of this nonsense as politics as usual, without
also voting with our opinions and dollars, this polarization will
continue and it will undermine the democratic process.


Yep.... part of the reason why polarization & mud-slinging
has worked so well is that elections have hinged upon voter
apathy: when only small numbers of people bother to vote, a
targeted group of excitable whackos have disproportionate
influence.

*If* this election yesterday is the start of a new trend,
especially with more young people voting, then we *will* see
a big change in politics. About time, too!
