Because we voted these people in the office from city council to the President. Voters get what they want... who asked for the vote? People.
Thats just looking at it skin deep, it ignores the mechinations, the vested interests, it ignores the deep state, which exists no matter who holds the token symbolic office.
If your statement was really true, then for illegal outrages such as the invasion of iraq, as an example, that left hundreds of thoussnds dead, and destroyed a nation, over the pretext of a lie, then eveey american is culpible for that slaughter.
But its not the case.
Americans didnt vote for that slaughter. They had no say really, vested interests, dicttated that, regardless of what joe six pack really had to say..
Same in regards to the "deep state", the massive survalience of american citizens, of which we only no a fraction, joe six pack wasnt aware of this, that had to.be shown him, by a guy who worked inside, and spilled the beans, then.fled for his life...
And still nothing changes...
Because the specticle of circuses continues, and really the above is hardly the tip of the ice burg. Its just points to consider, The issue is the system is essentially a game and looked at as such by those in power or who want power, and due to that more often then not, the interests of 7 million dollor a deal lawyers, or arms manufacturers, or political party power brokers usually isnt much the same.interests as you, or me, trying to get through life the best we can
I can go on ad nasum really, but thats a start
