        I hope it doesn't reflect polarization in the society which will be much more harder to fix

        Here in Australia it has been like this for decades, yet stable govt (mostly) persists. There's something else in US...

        Lack of meaningful third parties. There are enough parties in the OZ parliament to force coalitions

        this coincides perfectly with the rise of big data gerrymandering in the US. Read the book "Ratf**ked". Easilu fixable.

        bad trendline. Voters need to find a way to reward free thinking legislators instead of us vs them. Or just send red & blue robots.

        why would we ever want to 'repair' anything with people who did stuff like shut down the government twice over a budget deal

        you don't 'repair' an abusive situation; you get rid of the abusive parties

        bipartisanship is often bad though. Example: Iraq War

        you gotta ask what changed? Citizens United and a flood of dark money that consolidated the parties. Get dark money out 2 heal.

        my guess is change in mostly-centrist mass media to polarizing filters on social media. Pushes to extremes for 'engagement'

        I agree with that but this is about votes. Try finding a republican who believes climate change is real. Purged out.
