(19,877 posts)I think it's a reasonable conclusion that if 1-I'm saying the Left is anti-drone 2-You're saying I don't speak for the Left, then 3-You believe the Left isn't anti-drone?
Or are you just into arguing semantics? I actually DO speak for many on the Left through various organizations & coalitions I've formed and others I belong to. I've dedicated a HUGE part of my life speaking for, advocating for, and fighting for marginalized voices in society and for those who share in the struggle. I grew up so poor I used to bring home & eat left over produce & vegetables I confiscated from dumpsters behind supermarkets in my old Brooklyn neighborhood. I've organized day laborers into mini-unions. I've been beaten bloody by police at anti-war protests. I turned an urban vacant Brooklyn lot into an organic farm that fed my fellow poor neighbors and those struggling to survive and buy groceries. I worked for Food Not Bombs during my teens. I belonged to stage troupe's tackling issues of racism, classism, sexism, & conflict resolution at NYC theaters. I belong to several environmentalist groups that are currently engaged in anti-fracking of NY. The list goes on & on.
So please, instead of trying to pick an internet fight with someone who has dedicated their life to numerous left-wing causes I'm sure their is a RWNJ troll out there on the world wide web who is more worthy of your argument about semantics. Maybe on a Rand Paul message board or something.
