General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: America Is Becoming a Bit More Liberal. That's Pretty Unusual Six Years Into a Democratic Presidency [View all]I appreciate that you are part of that here, too. You've always contributed with kicks and recs to keep information in front of eyes here on that issue - not just from me, but from others as I well.
I try to do that for others who post about the issue here too.
The thing I've come to understand over time is that activists (and I don't consider myself one on the mj issue - I'm just an observer) make changes in society and politicians come along after activists have done the ground work.
...but, in a way, that makes its own sense because politicians represent a broad range of people with various beliefs or understandings. And pols are part of the system, while activists are many times outside of it - until they create their own niche within it.
