      Well they definitely don’t deserve it but I do wish they would pay a bit closer attention to what’s going on around them. On the other hand they live in an exploitative system that leaves little time or space for the human connections that could help build consciousness. It is a thorny issue.

        Of course they deserve it. Democracies give a great power to the people, and with great power comes great responsibility. If people neglect their responsibility they deserve the consequences.

      You’re talking about a country where Republicans have spent decades telling people their votes don’t actually matter. That’s what we’re fighting against.
