45. So now there exists no oppression or cause for outrage?

I see an ongoing battle, often against complacency within the party itself, but certainly against the oppression of others. We can agree on the broader issues and still engage in a Darwinian struggle of ideas and strategies, and no one gets mortally wounded. We end the day tired but it's the good kind of tired. You want to see a contentious lot, check out the 19th-century abolitionists. They were mostly Republicans. Look at their party now.
