In a Democracy, those of us who are enfranchised (have the vote), whether we voted for the current administration or not, while not culpable of, are responsible for the policies and actions of our governments. That is the inherent collective responsibility imposed on us by the luxury we have of living in a democracy. In a democracy, if you have the vote, everything the government does is in your name.
Possibly the most uncomfortable consequence of this is that in a democracy, only those without the vote are "innocent civilians".
