    Good job on the Republican Party for being complicit in our current president continuing to absolutely wreck the global image of the U.S. on top of everything else.

      Yeah it’s the voters you need to blame here.

      They or their lack of participation put them there.

      They can get them out too, now, if they want.

        “Blame the lambs being led to the slaughter, not the shepherds who gave them no choice.”

        You’re a truly enlightened genius who is contributing greatly to the cause.

            That’s reasonable. The voters bear some responsibility, but it needs to be acknowledged that the system is set up so they have as little power as possible while maintaining the illusion of democracy.

            “Don’t complain about your leaders. It’s your fault.” Is not the convincing argument you think it is.

              The leaders the voters repeatedly put there

              It’s a lot better than blaming everything outside the genuine reason. Probably the reason it isn’t convincing to Americans is because they can’t take responsibility for it.

              Obviously it makes a difference; the Republican voters use it well enough. The people they elected are trying to stop potential Democrat voters from doing it.

              Just take some fucking responsibility.
