    That’s a good sentiment which should be encouraged. If more Americans had that base level of compassion we wouldn’t be here now.

    Decades of trading death and destruction globally for comfort at home built an America ripe for the taking by the likes of Trump as he simply had to capitalize on the sentiments created by that “us at the cost of them” system better than Kamala was able to.

      Um. Many did, and we are here. Possibly as a result of that “compassion”. The lesson is that single-issue voters will sink the boat they are in and achieve nothing as a result.
