[quote=joec]Now, on both sides, Republican and Democrats, it’s to shut down the country, block everything, etc etc etc…
I think both sides are just as bad as each other and they are doing this because this is just the state of our country and our politics.

No, both sides don’t do it. It’s not even close. Democrats aren’t shutting down the government. Democrats aren’t getting sued because they’re not providing a basic education to students. Democrats aren’t holding up health care funding for 9/11 first responders and the department of Veterans Affairs. Democrats aren’t holding up appointments of hundreds of judges, including a vacancy on the supreme court, that’s likely to last a year or more. Democrats aren’t passing hundreds of laws every year putting women’s health at risk. Democrats aren’t cutting taxes across the country for millionaires and billionaires, ensuring that states can’t pay for vital services.
Republicans have spent the last 35 years telling everyone that the government is broken. That the government is the problem. And they’ve spent most of those 35 years making sure that was true. And then they’ve proved it was, in fact, their goal over the last 7 1/2 years. If the government is broken, it’s because republicans have broken it.
