I very well read the full text, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
A post res interpretation of it was where it all went wrong, but nobody told
us that we should be voting with that in mind.

content of a vote and its consequences, but you can't blame them for not
knowing consequences that nobody ever even mentioned to them, not even
tangentially.
