Time to rerun my occasional reminder:

when I was a child, liberal activists were ACTIVE. They were organized, they were extremely public, they were INSISTENT and PUBLIC and REPETITIVE and, again, REALLY GODDAMN ACTIVE.

It took more than 10 years of gearing up and laying groundwork before we started to see real results, but then we did. In ten years, from 1964-1974, we got the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare and Medicaid, Equal Employment and Fair Housing, Title IX, Title X, EPA, OSHA, lowered the voting age, end of the draft, resignations of a VP and President.

Then liberals said “it’s done”, they got lazy and went home. Conservatives did not get lazy, they did not stop fighting. Every. Single. Rightward. Move. in 70 years… is because conservatives kept pushing, and liberals didn’t.

Take a lesson.
