278. Why do Voters Always

Thu Oct 3, 2013, 08:36 AM

Oct 2013

get solely blamed for failed elections when the Likely reason is the Congress people they Elected failed in their job performance(s)?

Why not hold politicians themselves at Least partially responsible-ever?
Many are tired of settling. Low turnout isn't just a symptom of casual dissatisfaction-it's a symptom also-of Being Tired of Having to choose between the "lesser" of two evils and the realization of campaign lies/mistruths and associated corruption that factually exists in BOTH parties.
Not voting? It goes way deeper than being spoiled-and Neither party is Willing to listen to these constituency complaints and and make NO effort to try to correct..that would excite the electorate every bit as much as if there were a true progressive (not just a mouth piece) candidate.
We've already lost our place at the table and "we" are forgotten/ignored immediately after they get the keys to their DC ofc-decades ago and Now being dissatisfied with the quality of their work is "our" fault too?
