If you want things to change we need to start going after the source of the governments power, the people that vote for them. T

Agreed. If we want democracy to prosper, we clearly need to start punishing people who vote incorrectly.

So you disagree but you didn't offer up a counter argument or ask me any questions.

Why do you think I'm wrong?

Do you realize how much hatred your country draws to itself by what it says its attempts to fix the world (Iran, Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, and so many others)?

Many of you are genuinely deceived by such claims, though I can only imagine the depth of ignorance / self deceit required for that.

Others repeat them knowing they are lying, thinking to themselves that the important thing is that they themselves are not living in the midst of civil wars caused by foreign interventions, and that eventually what is robbed from the miserable prople who are living in such hell, will trickle also to ther own pockets.

But the residents of the countries you bomb, either by yourselves or using the hands of others, and even these "others", they do know what is happening..

What is "going after [...] the people who vote" supposed to mean?

Boycotts of businesses, cutting off family and friends, etc I said "we" as in the people not the government

> Boycotts of businesses, cutting off family and friends, etc

You'd think that, after the last decade, people would've learned that demonizing and ostracizing your political opposition is not a great way to get them to join your side.

That's exactly what the Republican party did and they now control all three parts of the US government.
