Just because some people call us a democracy doesn't mean you can shunt responsibility onto arbitrary folks.

The US populace isnt "Arbitrary" it should be directly accountable for the actions of the government it funds and supports.

We didn't. We can't vote. If anything, last three years I worked in fraud detection in healthcare - my work is currently being used by the medicare audit team. So respectfully, we only wanted good for this country.

I live in a state where my vote for President basically doesn't count, so you can fuck right off with that.

Ok, so you think your responsibility ends with voting? You build and fund a giant death machine and "welp my vote for death machine leader doesn't count so nothing else can be done"?.

How about throwing a few direct action ideas my way. What should I be doing in your mind?

No idea what the most heavily armed civilian population on the planet could possibly do about its tyrannical government?

We are approaching a situation where everyone else on the planet is going to have to do it for you. It would be much cleaner for everyone involved if you dealt with this before it got that far.
