Are you responsible for everything your Government does ? I would hope not. People need to be treated individually. I thought that was the entire point of liberal democracy.
Yes! You are responsible, but more like responsible for the actions of your child, or, an object you own like a house.
You are not at fault, if you are a good parent, or if you maintain your house well.
So if the child breaks the law, or damages something, if the house has a weakness not known but someone gets injured, you are responsible.
But the due dilligence, such as disciplining, teaching, and trying to instill good values in a child, or inspecting and maintaining your house, are key.
With a democracy, participating, voting, being an activist on vital matters, working to keep your democracy responsible and behaving correctly is that same due diligence.
We're always responsible, but are we at fault? Did we do our best?
Or did we decide that taking care of the child was too much bother, and disappear from their lives?
Did we try, at least?
And twitter posts, facebook this and that don't count here.
Because, would that be how you raise a child? Deriding them on twitter? Yelling at other parents because it was their fault?
My man, I hope you're not American because the world has a laundry list of complaints against America. People care about different things to different degrees. You compromise on who you think is the closest to your positions. In a country of 1.3B people, there is always divergence of opinion and in fact nearly no-one would have even thought about immigration as a concern when voting.
There is a difference between the personal things you can influence and being the 1/13000000th voice of the people.
