Death by Colorblindness
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.
-Elie Wiessel

Why the complaints then?
Simple. It's about power. More bluntly its because these politicians are grandstanding for their increasingly radicalized bases. And all of that stems from one source: uncontestable voting districts.
