We're not talking to you, you did what you could, go to the back of the line please and put the indignation in a secure box to use later.
But also understand that if you really did these things, you make up a razor-thin margin of people, the vast, vast majority of people don't involve themselves at all in their community. Like, an absurd amount of people do not care what's going on in their city or their local elections, and people like you are such a small minority that we can say broadly that "everyone" is responsible without you needing to feel you personally are being singled-out.
The person above said “we all helped in some way” so that’s why I was replying to them. I know I’m in the margin of people actually trying to involve myself in local politics and fighting my way up.
It’s just exhausting and disheartening when the world looks down on me when I say I’m American because I’m born where I was, but I’m trying to make this place better and fighting all I can. I’m ashamed to be American as much as I can be, but I’m not leaving because I can still fight.
