(135,425 posts)You plainly aren't looking at 68 with ANY clarity at all. I am though--I lived through those times and put my ass out there at more than a few protests.
How in hell do you think a prominent member of VVAW managed to find his way into the Senate? And eventually to run for President....and speak at this year's convention? Because the protesters of 68 DIDN'T VOTE? I don't think so.
This nosepicking anhedonia crew is nothing like the antiwar protesters in the sixties/early seventies, who were intelligent, organized and focused on goals. These idiots can't muster anything even approaching a group, never mind a crowd and are not political at all--they're like gum stuck to your shoe. They are the opposite of political. They're a club of lame ass mask wearing losers with no organization, no focus, no goals, and nothing but complaints without solutions.
"Fuck it all" is neither a tactic nor a strategy. It does seem to be the calling card of tent-dwelling children who grew up accustomed to getting a prize for simply "attending," though.
You might try actually reading what those losers were saying and doing at their little protest before you start lecturing me. See, I read the material, I am not making that shit up. I am not "jumping to conclusions" -- I am summarizing their (lack of) goals, as they themselves eagerly reported.
Don't vote--that was their "message."
Piss Off, Losers--I will vote and encourage others to do so as well.--that's MY message.
And if you can't go along with MY message, you're in the wrong place.
The name of the game here to elect Democrats to office, not suppress the vote like those clueless nitwits.
