In reply to the discussion: I took off my Obama stickers yesterday [View all]still_one
(92,502 posts)205. No problem, change does not happen overnight, and I do not care for people who throw there arms up
In the air and say I am done.
Civil rights, woman's rights, and labor rights movements did not just happen because they said they did not want to deal with it because, wah, the current politicians don't want to.
They worked with politicians to get those changes done, and they marched and they fought, and it did not happen over night
I lived through those times, and was part of those movements. All the work that had been done for those movements is being undone now, because a lot of people are too lazy to vote, or put up candidates that represents a progressive philosophy.
