What you're missing is how many people who were of age to vote then ignored Iran-Contra. It wasn't even a blip on their radar. Really, those are the people your, and the OP's, anger should be directed at. You're all about the Democratic leadership, but where we're the people in the streets raising hell? Who was there holding their feet to the fire? It's the fault of all the people in this country who chose to turn a blind eye. They didn't care to push the issue, even if you did. Where was the angry majority of people? Be honest, it was a bad time in our history where people were accepting of the extreme Rightwing ideology. That's where real grassroots activism comes into play, and was needed but was absent at the time. Beating up supporters of the opposition party some 30 years later has no real merit. Really, there's zero good to come from something like this decades later. That ship sailed long ago. Yes, we can learn from history, but it's not the fault of people not of age then. It's the fault of people who were adults back then. I'm sorry, but that's just a fact.

Seriously, think about it. It's foolish at best, to beat up people who had zero power to effect change back then. I understand you're still upset, I'll be upset over Bush and Trump era travesties for ages, but I hope I don't attack people who were minors when it took place later down the road just because I can't accept that people of my, personal generation messed up. That's just divisive, and unhelpful.
