I'm glad the conversation is happening though long overdue.

Moral consistency is a must for many voters, pragmatism and lectures and rationalizations be damned. And moral outrage can't be assuaged with mere words of compassion for suffering while continuing to fund and arm the state causing it. The dissonance is demoralizing with the result that people won't show up at the polls.
