(18,998 posts)But part of havinig a conversation is it being both ways...I listen to them and they listen to me...that is how it works...and in my experience most people do that really well, but then maybe I have not been in contact with real assholes all the much in life, because I tend not to go around them that much if they are.
Mutual respect is the key...but it is not mutural if you are insulted when you give your view...or when you are accused of something when you give it.
But take Code Pink, which BTW I support, they went after those responsible not those not responsible that was on their side...just because they could and could get attention doing it.
And they could have goten more headlines if they had attacked their own because the media would have been all over it...but attacking those responsible made only a mention on the news.
So I understand the stratigy but not the goal.
The facts are that BLM could never get near those responsible...they are too insulated...so the low hanging fruit, the ones on their side, was all they had. And Hillary had the wisdom not to even show up.
