(35,648 posts)but it was like crying in the wilderness.
I recall going door to door on a political issue here, in my own very blue state/neighborhood, and a neighbor answered the door and said to me, "Don't you have anything better to do with your time?"
Not that many years later, her very large, million dollar property went into foreclosure.
edited to add: it's only been in the last four-five years that this property and another equivalent were bought, restored, and purchased by new owners.

(30,730 posts)When I see a lot of the new activists, people who came on board after trump was elected, I think, "Where were you BEFORE?"
They came on board when it was almost too late. (I hope it is not too late). A lot of the newly enlightened, often self-styled progressives, want to run all over those of us who have been activists for years and tell us we don't know what we are doing.
In some ways, that is to be expected. Democrats are a large, unruly big tent.

Democrats: Volunteers trying to put together a pot-luck lunch for everybody. "Chili is too hot!" "Needs more salt." "Where's the vegan version?" "Did anyone remember to bring chopsticks?" "Get those styrofoam plates out of here! There's a plastic island in the ocean!" "Have the bus drivers been fed yet?"
