This is making a good point, but I still have to be here for my kids. I'll donate, vote, and argue, but I'm not fighting anyone off because my kids need me.

Leaving the country is also an option we're looking into, but my wife thinks we should stay here and continue to do what little we can.

Their kids need them too. The point of solidarity is accepting the same risks as them because they don't get to make that choice.

That's beautiful. Incidentally, do you have kids yourself?

Does being a parent make you care less about other people's kids?
