They are responsible in the sense that they have utterly neglected to take part in the work and the organization which precede the choosing of candidates for political office.

Businessmen have shirked such responsibilities, leaving an untrammeled field to others less capable of carrying on the administration of government.”

Democracy means something if people can organize to gain information, to have thoughts for that matter, to make plans, to enter into the political system in some active way, to put forth programs and so on.
