Yes the American voters did this, and also the failure of citizens to care enough to vote is America's other problem. Both sides of the same coin, and the coin is manipulated by the US media.

Why is the Democratic Party having so much difficulty in bringing this issue to light before the American people? Once again, it's manipulated by the US media. It all falls on the complicity of the media.
