As long as you hold your nose while you vote, it doesn't taste quite so bitter...to you, I mean. To them, it just tastes like the oppression you voted to support.
Well put -- you are exactly right.
I can vote Democratic or Republican, or abstain and allow the military industrial complex to grind them down without weighing in with my voice. They're going to hate the results no matter what.
But yeah, I'm sure the people in the Middle East hate us for our freedoms, right? Or because we're infidels...
Has nothing to do with the constant, seemingly politically unstoppable capitalization on their oppression.
If there's something I can do with my vote to slow that down, let me know. As of now, I just see different shades of black.
