You want more support for the causes you’re championing? Don’t demoralize people for celebrating the small victories that mean something to them. That is exactly what happened from 2009 to 2017, suddenly all the things that liberals cared about in the bush era like the wars and torture and lack of universal health Care and lgbtq rights and immigration just suddenly disappeared because hey we got the blue guy in office now we can all relax and then nothing happened we got wiped out in 2010 and it’s just going to happen again, we’ve already seen thisBut that’s not what happened? I’m pretty sure Occupy Wall Street, the anti-Deportation protests, Ferguson Action, the May Day Protests, the People’s Climate March, the March for Gun Control, the National Equality March for Gay Rights, the “I Am Trayvon” Protests, the One Nation Working Together Labour and Civil Rights Rally, NoDAPL/Standing Rock, and the NATO Summit protests all happened under Obama…Like, I totally agree that it’s imperative to fight for justice regardless of which party is leading a government, but it’s not accurate to say that hasn’t been an ongoing trend. A lot of people spent those 8 years fighting for different causes, and they can continue on that way under Biden. It’s a lot easier to do the dishes when the house isn’t on fire. -- source link
