Yes, but it's the voters' responsibility to understand this. They have no one to blame but themselves. Remember, we're adults now, we aren't children in a playground where we can call for adults to set things right when we screw up. The voters have the ultimate power to choose who runs the government, so the results are their own responsibility.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> Yes, but it's the voters' responsibility to understand this Perhaps, but “X was responsible for understanding that this would be the consequence” and “X was aware that this would be the consequence and actively preferred it” are very different claims.
- magduf 7y agoI never claimed that all voters (for that candidate at least) would know beforehand exactly what actions s/he would take once in office. But it is their responsibility to know what they're voting for, and if they're stupid enough to believe vague or impossible campaign promises, that's entirely on them.
