(11,833 posts)You can probably tell I'm like that as well. I totally believe in protesting & trying to get a progressive agenda going. I've done a lot of that. I think that's what's best for the country right now.
One area where I can't really understand some of the more centrist posters on DU is on matters involving race. I'm always stunned at how many people here are intolerant even of looking at their own views and seeing how something they might say could be considered racially insensitive. Now, that may not make them a total racist like the kkk or something, but I think we as leftists have a long way to go in getting people toward being much less defensive about it, and toward fully honoring all people of all colors.
Also, in generally believing what police generally say, or complaining about protesters holding up traffic. Personally, while I don't disrespect police publicly (mainly 'cause I'm not that stupid) I do think they tend to lie a lot, especially in court.
But I digress. Hope you enjoy a good evening and keep on smiling & laughing!
