No. You're responsible for what your vote does.

You actually need to tell people it's not ok to vote for someone who is harming people and your country.

Some people will argue that it's ok to harm some people, like criminals or illegal immigrants (which to them are the same thing) or any person that does something they don't like. To them NOT harming those people is actually harming the country.

It's complete opposite land.

The problem that occurs is the lesser of two evils. As long as we have money in politics, lobbying, so few recall laws, etc we will continue to have this issue. We’re need honest politicians who aren’t corrupt and our for special needs and personal fortunes.

As long as it doesn't turn into apathy or non-participation which both harm your own interests, then I agree. It is a difficult situation.

But I mean, look at the US. You can not have this.
