[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the left and I don't like the vandalism.  I would be fine if his statue came down through legal means.  I have long thought the holiday was misplaced and should be renamed.  [/quote]
Me too. I'd like to remind people that [b]"liberals" and "the left" aren't monoliths.[/b] While we have similar beliefs, we have different means to those ends.

I'm in favor of taking statues down and putting them in a museum or other educational facility. I am not pro-vandalism. [/quote]

While this is true, I will point out to you that your liberal compatriots and peers have gotten exponentially worse - more extreme, self-righteous, felonious - in just the last year or so.

Which is exactly why I do not count myself in your ranks anymore.[/quote]
There are also many of us who are quietly campaigning for progressive representation in the mid-term election, visiting our current representatives, attending town halls, and having actual discussions, along with the peaceful marches and actual work for progressive causes. We recognize that that's what's going to make real change happen. [/quote]
