There’s a huge difference between empathy and sympathy, and letting this lady believe she is the protagonist: that she only had the best intentions and didn’t vote for this is disingenuous at best and dangerous at worst.

i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.
