    If we’re truly a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” then we did it to ourselves.

    If we’re not that then we should “dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another”

        We’ve been railroaded if not cheated every step of the way. It’s not our fault, though it is our responsibility

            They censored mainstream media. They boost and censor mainstream social media. They lie constantly, so fast we can’t keep up. The Democrats were neo liberals, they seemed like they were going to shift more progressive but now they’re becoming neoconservatives

            Lobbyists write the laws they may tweak before voting on. The Democrats let the conservatives stack the court, while refusing to do the same

            The electorial college, voter suppression, and “it’s whatever we give you or the orange guy who wants to destroy the country” has stolen our power

            The system is rigged. Almost none of us want this, not just what’s happening now, but the destruction of the middle class, the impossibility of housing, the enshitification of everything, healthcare that cripples you to use (if insurance doesn’t just delay until you’re also physically crippled)

            No, this isn’t us. We’re not in control, our democracy has been hacked by a small number of very powerful people. We have to fix it - but this isn’t our fault

              Apologies, I thought you were referencing a commonly said phrase on a podcast I listen to. The line is “it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility” in regards to mental illness. I wasn’t being facetious.

      Thank you for suggesting the dismantling of the US. This us a great suggestion!!1!

      Good thing Trump has 100% support in the US, and he didn’t fall short of 50% of the vote!
