Feddites who live in countries with elections, do you generally feel morally responsible for your government’s actions? Why/Whynot? (kbin.social)

Exaggerated and made up example of what I’m curious about:

My country has legitimate elections. When my government wrongly convicts someone I feel as if I have personally wronged that person by voting for the person who appointed the judge. God will judge both me and the judge for it.

Do I feel responsible for the selfish, harmful and bigoted choices made by a government I did my best to keep out of power? No, I don't feel responsible, I feel angry
