No, I'm pointing out that there are tens of millions of Americans who did not vote for this catastrophe, and who have very limited abilities to change the system. So acting like we're all equally culpable is stupid.

And I'm not the one who asked Canada for help. That was someone else you 🤡.

    I think the other commenters on this topic often assume that you know that merely voting is not full civic participation, nor adoption of the full responsibility of maintaining democracy.

    Keeping the tyrants down is a lot of work, and always has been… and most people have also always been ’poor’. Ancient Greek democracy only lasted a few hundred years, I bet part of that was people gave up doing all the civic duties and left it to the powermongers.

    Yes because nobody would know that otherwise. /s 😱

    I know, but you defended the viewpoint, and argued against the response that correctly states that Americans need to liberate themselves.
