(62,325 posts)It sure didn't happen by having the attitude that's 'this is the way it is'. No, we FOUGHT for that change. You are simply arguing against yourself now. That was a clear example of the people speaking out and criticizing the president's position on marriage equality. But if we were to listen to those who constantly told us to 'stfu' and stop 'demanding ponies' and how 'single issue voters' would lose elections, please, don't force me to dig up that battle. But thank you for making my point. If you want to get things done, you must fight and speak out and refuse to listen to political operators, whose only goal is to 'win', but 'win what'?
The 'drone' issue is not yet known to the American people, as you well know, the MSM has not covered it. The WH would not acknowledge it even existed. Like all other issues, it is only now thanks to great journalists such as Jeremy Scahill eg, that the issue is finding its way into the American dialogue.
People cannot support something they know nothing about. Or as happened with Bush, support something they have been lied to about. 70% of the people supported Bush's lies about WMDs. Now that number is down to 40%, even though the lies have all been uncovered.
As more information reaches the people, those numbers will change. But to ask people 'do you support using drones to protect national security'? Lol, nice try.
