(12,165 posts)I'm over people who are throwing in the towel about our country.
I don't get why they even bother to complain if all hope is lost for them.
There has never been a time in any civilization when there has not been a struggle - whether economic, political, social, or all three.
And it will always be thus.
And to all of the people who have resigned themselves to a life defined by woe and misery you instead should thank people like Harvey Milk, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and millions of others who joined them. Read and ruminate on their writings and speeches.
Without these people carrying on their backs those who have given up, the human condition wouldn't have improved to the point it is today. In other words, you are dead weight to progressives who are working their asses off to make life better for everyone.
And it has improved for many. To not see it or admit it is a sign of being delusional or disingenuous or both.
What a waste of time and energy to endeavor to bring others down. Shame on you.
