re: #819 ShanghaiEd

Are you familiar with the admonition “Love it or leave it”? Have you ever advised anyone unhappy with its elected officials to do so? Is “love it or leave it” a valid sentiment, do you think?

Yes and no, depending on the source of their (rhetorical) enthusiasm.
The pendulum swings for elected officials and cutlural memes. So if someone is unhappy with officials, if they are a righty like me, I tell them to hang tough and keep fighting. I they are a lefty moaning about a righty official I tell them, tough shit.

Love it or leave it is for foreign nationals, anarchists, socialists, communists and entertainment industry types.
