    Those children will die regardless of who you vote for or if you don’t vote at all. It’s a horrific tragedy that is completely out of anyone who isn’t in power’s control. So instead of worrying about that, worry about what you CAN control - preventing fascists from gaining more power and making things even worse than they already are.

      No a tragedy is a plane crash. A tragedy is a tornado directly hitting the school gym everyone sheltered in.

      This is a war crime, a massacre, an act so vile that civilized countries have agreed it should not be done, ever.

      And we do not have to be complicit.

          We can control our complicity. Politicians can be brought to heel. Saying we can’t do it is just another way of excusing ourselves from worrying about what our leadership is doing.
