the internet warriors are just those who mostly fantasize about being some revolutionaries but they don't really do anything else. they see things going on in other parts of the world like the arab spring and love to imagine themselves as being similar types.
true liberals are out there actually working on issues at different levels. los angeles and some otehr areas have put limits on use of plastic bags. people bring their own grocery bags or they can pay 10 cents for a paper one.
in the poorer areas of los angeles people have started to do things like farmers market, they put in lanes for bikes . another poorer area was successful in keeping walmart out.
when i read things like i the OP i just have to laugh .
another good example is de blasio's election and how people tried to use that as something against the Clintons. i had to remind people that de blasio is a clinton guy. yes there are liberals who are clinton people.
from my experience in politics and all the elections there have always been a certain type. i worried about them earlier but over time i learned most didn't really care about any real change. they just like to complain and it makes them feel they are morally superior or some shit like that. after a while i just told them to not vote for the Dem and vote for whoever they want. and they got upset . because what they want is attention and ass kissing and people begging them.
it's like trying to get votes and wasting time with some teabaggers. you could be out there informing and getting support from those who really are open to what you have to say and likely to go out and vote based on whatever issue you give them. you don't want to waste time on people who just need their ego fed.
