Why not just own it? Your vote, your voice.
Once, I was really pissed off about something. I was alone, just chewing on my bitterness. I took out my emotion on a really large photography developing tray. I hadn’t planned to. It was a rash impulse. The tray cracked and really can’t hold liquid any more.
Do I say, so-and-so, look at this broken developer’s tray! This is your fault! Look what you made me do! Do I blame so-and-so??? It never even occurred to me. I broke it and I’ve been sorry ever since. I hurt something that had value and usefulness.
But, as Gramps used to say, sorry is too late.
