You are misunderstanding how the system is supposed to work.

no, I think you have the misunderstanding of how it actually works.

We have a responsibility to vote, but no candidate is owed a vote.

given the choice, you want your genitals mutilated or your head removed? if you choose nothing then you get both. technically you don't need to chose, but it's in your best interest to make the choice that allows you to survive.

The government is meant to execute the will of the people. That's why we live in a democracy. That means that the government is supposed to work for you. The politicians are supposed to essentially be public workers that are hired via votes of the citizens.

a government is not meant to execute the will of the people. a government is meant to control and maintain a society. the people are to control the government through their will to ensure the society supports the will of the people. Unfortunately, some people forgot this and have refused to participate in the will, IE voting, and have weakened our society to the point of fracturing.

politicians are not social workers, they care about maintaining control and exerting their will on the people. the job of the people is to ensure their elected officials reflect what the goals and will of the people are. Unfortunately, some people forgot this and have refused to participate in the will, IE voting, and have weakened our society to the point of fracturing.

your views on governance and politics is so antiquated and skewed you can't even see what's going on in front of you because you're so blinded by the past.

"its not fair, the gubamint should be like dis!"

No one is owed our votes. They are supposed to earn it.

no one is owed freedom, no one is owed liberty. You are supposed to fucking earn it by participating in the election and helping us move this ship away from disaster.

this election was like playing tug of war with the helm and having half of our supporters watch from the side complaining about how, "we didn't want to go this way so we're not going to stop the ship from crashing into those rocks."

at one time I had hope for the future but now I can see I was wrong. We're doomed, not by the corruption, not by the sadistic megalomania, but from arrogance and apathy that flows from lazy Americans.
