I am not criticizing the views - I have some of the same views. I just wish people would present themselves in an effective way where they are not blown off as “the lower classes not worth listening to”.
We are dealing with the elites who look down on all of us anyway. I like to see us give them a run for their money. We are not ignorant, we do see things clearly - we just need to make our views heard as reasoned, well thought out views that have credibility.
Otherwise we are undercutting ourselves and our goals.
We are in war here and it would be nice if we were effective.
And, what do you think when you go over to DU and read the ignorant rantings there? Don’t you sneer at how dumb they are? Well, I don’t like to be sneered at as not worth listening to.
Our ideas are better than that and we are wasting our time undercutting our own views.
I must disagree with you. The fact that this bill has not passed yet is because they are hearing us loud and clear.
“And, what do you think when you go over to DU and read the ignorant rantings there? Don’t you sneer at how dumb they are?”
Been there once, many years ago. Didn’t like it. Of course if I were a Lib, then I’d be looking at the sneers differently, so that’s not really a good comparison. There’s other Forums out there you might find a better fit. I don’t think your overall goals can be achieved here, and I’m not convinced that they really should be either. Thanks for the dialogue either way.
Who is sneering at us?
