    They are not owed our votes - they must effectively campaign to win them. That’s politics.

    You aren’t owed life, or shelter, food every day, or freedom from imprisonment from no reason. Or from torture. Nobody outside yourself has any obligation to create for you a system that you like.

    We made all this up, all this justice, flawed or not. We create it every day. Except now it might be about to go away. We either get together and create and sustain it, or it can blow away like a fart in the wind.

    That’s realpolitik. Welcome to it, and congratulations.
