If we believe in democracy, yes! We are totally responsible.
The fact that there is such a disconnect between the actions of government and the will of the population shows how flawed "democracy" is.

As compared to what?
Well democracy is supposed to be citizens participating directly in the political process. What we have is a very watered down version of democracy - we elect officials every few years, but don't really participate in law making or ratification.
