Are Politicians to blame or is the Public?

Are Politicians to blame or is the Public?

I feel that the public doesn't have even a basic understanding of how government works, The President ( who ever it is )  is basically the lipstick on the pig. The REAL pig is Congress and the Senate. That one branch of government has created the current environment we live in. After decades of the public continuing to send the same people back - election after election. Meanwhile presidents have come and gone while the same people sit in Congress and the Senate.
