(37,364 posts)No one is arguing against fighting for what you want to see in society. But there is a system in place to arrive at those rules and it is set in our Constitution and laws. To me, it sometimes sounds like singling out PBO to castigate and excoriate is an excuse to not tackle the very hard job of replacing some very bad legislators. Some one on another thread asked about why people do not come here to do more than complain but present "progressive" candidates to support or ideas or groups to get behind. I've asked that in the past upon several occasions. Continual complaining is just that--continual complaining. There is pie in the sky and then there is feet on the ground feel the dirt beneath my feet. Tilling the soil and seeding it is just as important as wishing for dessert. Someone has to grow them apples and grind the flour. I hope that metaphor makes my point.
