“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

      Who are the exact same people that you claim to be citing? I see the exact same people discussing all of these issues. The only thing you’re doing is discouraging them from talking about it if they’re not talking about it all at once which no one does on any subject.

      Because we don’t see it every day. It is far removed from our lived experience. Additionally, we have a limited capacity to bear every genocide on our collective backs without sliding into apathy or depression.

      They’re sucky reasons, I agree, but life isn’t fair. If people finally care about even one, though, I’ll take it over none.
