It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

You hopefully won't be able to sleep at night when things get worse because you refused to get your hands a little dirty doing what's best.
I don't like to clean dirty dishes, but it's got to be done sometimes. I'd rather it just go away, but the alternative is much worse. I recognize that doing nothing doesn't actually accomplish anything, as nice as that feels. I have to just get over it and get it done before things get much worse.
Whatever analogy you're trying to create, what you're saying is that you are going to vote to continue funding genocide. Democrats have become the party of the neocons. Not surprising considering Obama would lock up the activists revealing that he US was killing journalists in Iraq.
I'll sleep just fine because I stood up and was on the side of humanity and compassion, not the one that was so blind that they voted for the person that praises Dick Cheney and says how she'll always support genocide.
Don't worry. I know that you were going to sleep fine regardless. You're likely a decently well off white person. It wasn't going to bother you no matter what. You aren't the people who you are sacraficing, and you're OK with that. That's fine. Don't pretend like you're hands are clean though. You're a part of this, and you have the power to participate in a meaningful way. You're choosing not to so you can feign moral superiority though. That's cool. I see you though.
Thanks for assuming I'm a rich white man to fit your narrative of making genocide easier for you to support. And yes I do sleep better knowing I'm not supporting someone who has made it crystal clear that she'll continue enabling genocide.
I didn't say rich, but I'm sure you're not struggling to survive. You didn't contradict it, so...
When the election is actually between two people, one of those two are going to be elected. One of them will amplify things, the other will not. I know which one I'd want if I'm a Palestinian. Luckily for you, you aren't a Palestinian and you're perfectly willing to sacraficed them so you can tell everyone else that your morals are so good and your hands are "clean." It's really convenient how easy it is, and I'm happy for you that you found this loophole. Meanwhile I have to sit in my recognition that people are suffering and I am trying to do what I can.
