It's so easy to shit on voters for not being informed.

Dems had $1B to reach this lady with a message about how they were going to improve her material conditions and they couldn't or wouldn't. At least they got that sweet sweet Cheney fan vote.

When people have to work constantly or their kids will starve and it just keeps getting worse wtf is anyone supposed to do?

"You didn't do your homework, so you deserve to have your life destroyed lol"

The system is fucked. Well and truly.

Democracy isn't government on cruise control. Democracy is a responsibility. Blaming politicians isn't going to change the fact that it is not institutions that uphold democracy. It's the people.

So yeah, ultimately the people failed themselves. Some people just need to learn the hard way. If that is the only way these people will learn, why try to stop them from getting their lessons?

Americans are basically spoiled children. Never experienced government hardship. Why expect them to understand the value of what they have that prevents the hardship?
