I too wish I could relief myself of any responsibility, and levy the blame entirely on the corrupt system, that I have little-to-no influence over. But the truth is, the people of any democracy are the true source of power. And if I asked you to join me in rising up against our current flawed political system, you'd probably hesitate as you are probably doing well enough to not wanting to rock the boat.
I know this, because I am the same. I recognise that our systems are flawed, but I also recognise that I - as a voter - am partially to blame for this. And yet, I also feel comfortable enough to let and let live.

You are right that they won't want to revolt and potentially destroy the system because it's working "well enough" for them, but that's far from being the ones who decide the course of the nation.
- redis_mlc 6y agoI don't even know where to start with this. When you have 2 parties that nominate oligarchs, your vote is already wasted. The only influence that the average citizen has is to get involved at the city council level and help the right people climb into influence. But when you have to choose between Trump and a Clinton, it's too late to make a difference.
