    we’re talking about 2000 because i asked about it to find out exactly how far back your belief that voters bear the responsibility for the us governments actions goes and to which particular voters it applies.

    are the nader people more to blame for the recount not taking place than the many people and political actors calling for it to stop?

    are the election workers responsible for the failed system they enabled through their work that literally put the wrong person in office?

    i’m gonna sound like a broken record here, but:

    If I were choosing the vote that makes me least responsible for the genocide in Gaza wouldn’t I choose a candidate who opposes it in both word and deed?

    If what you said were true and I really was responsible for the actions of my government through my vote, wouldn’t it make sense to focus on getting voting records from diebold or whatever so you could use that information to target your vitriol at the people most responsible for this nations cruel actions?

    If you really believe that people are responsible for the actions of their governments does that extend to the gore voters in Florida?

    If people are responsible for the actions of their governments then what justice should be enacted to right the wrongs they bear responsibility for?
