I genuinely care about these people. I'm playing with game theory here tho. I vote for trump, the bombing will continue. I vote Dem, the bombing may slow down. I vote third party, isn't necessarily a vote for trump, but it makes him winning more likely.

I also have to care about more than just the people overseas. A vote for trump affects more than just our foreign policy. My many female friends and their human rights. My coworkers and their workers rights. I don't know what Trump's plans for welfare are, but I'm sure there shit.

If you're assuming that I'm not thinking about all the facets of life that this election touches, then you're seriously out of touch. I want the world to be a better place, I genuinely do. I think most of the people here do. But I'm not a single issue voter. There's a lot that this election means to a lot of people. I don't have the answers, I'm just a cog. I'll do the best I can, any more than that and you're barking up the wrong tree
