BOTH are simply recent additions to the demise of our country.
If you really believe what you said, must be frustrating to even get out of bed in the morning.
No, all politicians are honest, moral, etc. but the United States is replete with resignations because of honor, parties preventing nominations because of character.
And I can net recall even one instance of an elected official passing him or herself off as someone who is to decide any scientific issue, yet to dare lie about it. G Bush comes to mind and the anguish he went through making a decision on stem cell research.
No, I have much more confidence in our system than you. It is limping right now, and has and is under attack for a few years, and surprising to me even, openly with no qualms.
I prefer my country to any one leader, and trust my country. I can see lies, and I can see hypocritical behavior on any side, and mostly will fight for my country, and never give up. What we are experiencing in this pandemic behavior is simply unamerican. The lies, accusation and hate defended on this forum and other places is unforgivable and certainly will be not be forgotten.

The self agenda and greed by our politicians has been going on for decades. IMO, anyone who goes to Washington, with honesty and integrity, will soon be, literally, squashed. I suggest you view the 1939 film, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington", Staring Jimmy Stuart and Jean Arthur. That film depicts the "Tip of the iceberg", for what is happening today. Don't misunderstand, I LOVE my country, but I am beginning to fear my government, and I mean both major parties.
