@c_merriweather @bruce @tzimmer_history +1 I'd say it's obvious, but apparently it's not. It needs to be said, over and over.

@c_merriweather @bruce @tzimmer_history ...And? Who argued otherwise? We literally have a President today who pardoned those who were convicted of war crimes. But 77 million voted for him while 90 million didn't bother to vote. If people don't vote, it can't change.

@bruce @tzimmer_history His actions wouldn't have changed this. The Occupy movement managed to democratically snag basically zero seats anywhere. The blame is squarely upon those who decided they didn't need to vote anymore, especially in 2016 and 2024. If you aren't for something, those who are for something - even if it's a terrible something - will win elections. Your 'non-sarcastically' answer is literally the problem pointed at in this post. You want people held responsible? You need to lobby for laws that do that. You need judges who will rule that way. And you need to elect representatives - either ones that won't do the opposite or ones that will forward your ideal. Campaigning against the team who you didn't get everything from is helping the someone who wants the opposite of you to win. Someone *will* win the election. Someone *did* win.
