Left wing is progressive which means we are trying to change things. You cannot have a hostile attitude trying to change things.
You only do that when you are trying to conserve something.
Respectfully, I disagree.
Passion and anger motivates people. It encourages people. Conservatives shouldn't be the only ones able to be antagonistic to get what they want.
This soft-handed approach hasn't gotten us anywhere.
People don't care about "civility" and statistics and educating themselves.
People respond to rhetoric, slogans, and easy to digest messages.
