[quote="Jennier-s68p"][quote="anon-54r5"][quote="Jennifer-s68p"]So I'm guessing I'm talking to either David N., James F., or Charles K.?  One thing us "young liberals" (which I take as a huge compliment considering I'm in my 40s) have on you, is the ability to track people's names down using FB based on your likes and follows.  I know all about your Visible Cranbury page and that you have published the names of members of that group.  Your pages have been reported and will be deleted.

Yes, us "young liberals" are such a threat to democracy.  We're just doing our part to protect democracy from 45's tyrannical Administration and trying our best to block sexist, racist, misogynistic, climate change denying, homophobic, xenophobic, money hogs from destroying our country, our planet, and our basic human rights.  Just as "old liberals" did during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.  And yes, Susan is offering her help...or at least was until her boss found out.

I am not one of those individuals.  You post these generic statements, but like every issue there are nuances.

Trump infastructure programs are good, if Trump revises the tax code to eliminate the ATM it will be good.  There are certainly many many wrong things as well.  But yelling and shouting down people you don't agree with so our representatives stop holding Town Halls is counter intuitive.  No one is going to listen to you and all these protestors do is strengthen the person's resolve that they are yelling at and strengthening their supporters.

I have posted prior here many times that being liberal is not shutting down discussion.  It is not having safe places on campus because something was said that hurt one's feelings.  Being Liberal meant talking about issues, debating, listening and understanding.  It's essence was being uncomfortable and not afraid to have discussions.

Being liberal meant being welcoming and respecting of different religions and backgrounds.  It wasn't telling a convent of nuns that they had to pay for birth control if it violated their religious rights.

Many great works of literature, songs and plays were written by liberals opening up dialogue.  Today's groups like indivisible and OFA run counter to liberal ideals.

These groups tell you what you can say, what you can't say, what you can read, what you should not.  It goes counter to liberal ideals and ideology.[/quote]

Thank you for explaining to me what a complacent liberal is...I knew they existed, but I appreciate the education, nonetheless.  I, on the other hand, am an active liberal, I act, and if you don't like the way I act, to quote one of your comrades, "get over it."[/quote]
