They’re all collectively responsible for who they elect.

Lol, no. Nether I nor my state voted for it. Do not blame me for the actions of people further away than your entire country from me like I have any control over what happens.

The country is collectively responsible for who it elects.

This is basic democracy. The problem is none of them can accept responsibility. That just comes in different forms, whether it’s non voting when you can, voting for arseholes or blaming others when it goes wrong.

So they lash out at the rest of us who understand that and vote accordingly at home. If that’s not enough they fund their political PACs to insert into our politics at home. Which is our fault too I guess. Like I had someone try and tell me earlier it’s our fault because we won’t sanction the US.

The country is collectively responsible for who it elects.

Wrong.

This is basic democracy

The US operates under a representative democracy, specifically a system with an electoral college. This results in multiple levels of abstraction from your normal voter.

The problem is none of them can accept responsibility.

You're just butthurt people who didn't vote for this aren't accepting your blame.

Cry harder about your grievences with Americans, you're a pretty big fucking idiot

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wrong

Nope, every democratic country is responsible for the leaders they elect. The US wants to be a special case here and expects others to accept it as one, but it’s responsible for who it elects

The US operates

Yes, I know. It approved Biden and Clinton, but go on, roll out the excuses for that one too

you’re just butthurt

Fucking hardly. I’m well aware Americans won’t accept responsibility they can palm off elsewhere.

cry harder

I think the crying being done by Americans, not anyone outside.

We knew this would happen though, after they elected him again. Excuses everywhere, absolving each individual. Excuses everywhere, anger when the mirrors held up, rage when they’re told to stay home.

Still bitching about how people are responsible for the actions of others?

Still butthurt as fuck, still pathetic.

My country's falling to fascism and we're still better than your citizens it seems

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope, you’re falling to fascism and we all know how you got there

You’re all responsible for it. Every democracy is responsible for the government they elect and you blokes have no qualms pointing that out.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re all responsible for it

Wrong. Neither I nor my state cast a vote for the regime currently in charge.

Should probably pull your head out of your ass and learn how shit works before you look stupid

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Look stupid to who? That shits important to you blokes mate, not us.
