That's not how it works. Unless all Americans are responsible for an American barn catching fire because the American owner tossed an American cigarette butt inside.
No, politics get ruined by politicians. And politicians are put there by some of the people. Not all of the people. I know you'd like to lessen the burden on your shoulders and try to spread the blame also towards the people who voted against them. But if you voted for the current crop of politicians ruling your country you (and all others casting the same vote) are directly responsible for the state it's in.
Being ashamed of that and diverting the blame just implies you accept you voted for the wrong people.
- leesalminen 8y agoSo what you’re saying is that all problems in our country are caused by the current administration and that democrats have never done anything detrimental to the country? It would seem to me that you’re the one assigning blame away from yourself. I blame all of us equally for allowing us to get to where we are today. I’m equally unimpressed with this administration as the last.
- close04 8y agoNo, I'm saying that every issue caused by the current administration has its voters at the root of it. Not all voters. And you have to admit that the heavy-handed way the current administration had been conducting its business is a new low. Or at least a local minimum.
- whataboutthateh 8y agoYour repeated comments here can be best summarized as "but but but what about...." Your whataboutism is just simple intellectual dishonesty. Do you have an actual argument to make here? If not, save us all some reading and just type "BWA" or something and it will have the same persuasive effect as anything else you've written here.
