It completely misses the point that the government is supposed to be working for us.
sorry, I tried to include the idiosyncrasies of a democratic government but the meme genie told me I had to keep it under 255 characters.
They are here to make our lives better from our collective power. The right to rule is derived from the will of the people. You are misunderstanding how government is supposed to function on an essential level.
I think the only one here who has failed to grasp the function of a government is you. A government is meant to control the people. to ensure the safety and continued prosperity of society. has been that way for thousands of years.
Making it out to be the voters fault because we didn’t like the shit sandwich that the were serving us is absolutely incorrect. Harris had zero progressive ideas in her platform. She ran on basically the same platform as the GOP.
yes because the voters are never at fault. just like in 2016, right?
As soon as you start putting the onus on the voter, you are putting our politicians up as the aristocracy. You make them into our ruling class. This is incorrect. They are supposed to execute the will of the people.
either your vote matters and you take responsibility for it, or it doesn’t. pick one.
I’m just absolutely shocked that so many people are acting like the voters failed, when the DNC has done this to us so many times lately.
I’m done here, you clearly have no idea what the fuck you’re taking about.
Acting like I’m the one that doesn’t know what I’m talking about is laughable.
It sounds like you have very little knowledge of any political theory. The basis of democracy is that power HAS TO come from the will of the people. The people exist first, and then we make government. It’s not like someone set up a tent in the middle of a field and people come up and apply to be governed.
If a party is losing elections like this, then it means that they are not representing the will of the people. That means that they are failing at their job, which is to represent and execute the will of the people.
Why else would we pay taxes and give a huge portion of our money to the government? Remember, taxes come from us. The US Government doesn’t magically just have unlimited money. They get money from us, and they are supposed to spend how we tell them to.
You’re talking like we have some sort of set ruling class, and all of us little peasants failed our lords and ladies because we didn’t vote hard enough for them.
That’s an extremely authoritarian view of government that borders on being pro aristocracy. Kind of like feudalism.
Acting fed up with me and like you’re so much smarter than me that you can’t even explain your position is such an amateur attempt at covering up your own lack of knowledge.
You are an ignoramus and an authoritarian. The government is not meant to control the people. Im surprised you have the wherewithall in your brain to find your polling station.
people who didn’t vote make me mad.

Do better.
dude, I’m not acting. I’ve got shit to do outside of whatever this is.
besides, I doubt you want to keep this going as well.
clearly, you will never understand my point of view and I will never accept yours.

Coward.
You need to convince those, that are not terminally online about politics, and doesn’t know the concept of “lesser evil”.
