Comment on Im root'n for Putin
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoLife is full of compromise. At least the Swiss vote on everything. That means taking responsibility for your decision, not passing the buck to some elected snake oil salesman. I am not in alignment with lefty Swiss politics, but I can make a tradeoff for this kind of govt.

I disagree. Voting just means passing the buck to the electorate. No one is responsible.

Electorate is responsible. Everyone is. Country votes for war, all are to blame, whether you voted yes or no. That's the price of living in a tribe. To avoid bad decisions, improve your communication skills and convince your fellow countrymen. That's also your responsibility.
This system is far better than putting your faith in a handful of power hungry snake oil salesmen.

Most cannot be convinced of anything except by lying to them.

Find a new country. What can I say, living in a group has advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantages being compromise. Hell, that's even the case even if its only two people, i.e. a normal couple. If you cannot compromise with your partner, you have to find a new one.
Or alternatively live alone. That's really really hard, borderline impossible though
