right: they are appointed by people you elect
so... 🤷
look, criticize all you want. demand better. but work for it, don't just screech online
take it from this american: toxic idealist entitled demands don't achieve anything, and are often a right wing cosplay to redirect attention
the kind of replies i see under the top account i always recognize as the sort of hypercritical perfectionism that led the usa to where it is today

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I think criticizing government is perfectly acceptable in a democracy. It's what the press do all the time.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @jtb@toot.wales @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm pretty sure their re-re-re-reattempting to implement chat control, their folding to the US, US Big Tech surveillance companies, and to the AI fomo is much, much more dangerous to our Europe and to our democracy, than the "entitled screeching" of citizens rightfully concerned about the Commission — over which, I repeat, we have no direct control or influence — doing things that go against us as citizens.
