(885 posts)You're blaming the left for the problems in this country? The same left that is out there fighting for the civil and economic rights of everyone daily?
If you want someone to blame, why don't you start with the middle (who's in power) or the right (who's full of racists). Why you would use this thread to attack the one group who's out to help everyone that could use some help is beyond me.
Us on the left are multi-taskers. We'll fight for the rights of the poor and middle class, the rights of minorities, the rights of women, and the rights of privacy and equal justice. Of course constantly fighting against injustice makes us easy punching bags. We're used to it at this point.
I'm sorry something else is getting more attention currently, there's only so many things we can try to improve in a given day. Sometimes we have to focus on one thing to be heard, to the detriment of others.
