Do we citizen voters have any culpability or responsibility for our own governments?

Basically as I have gotten older, it is clear that as much as we fight and argue over governments and politics, really it is us the citizen/voter who has voted in consistently bad people.

Regardless of your political affiliation, do you feel any responsibility for the consequences of your vote?

Or do you feel, once they are elected, what they do is up to them and not your responsibility?

Thank you.

    Democracy is a messy business. If you want orderliness you should find a Nazi type government where there is order but cruel.

    But you are correct, the largest voter group his fall will be the folks who do not vote at all.

    I would agree with you IF the ones I voted for or ANY of them stuck by what they said to get in.

    They don't though they lie and become corrupt once elected so how can a person know this will happen.
