"It's your turn you asked for it, you're going to get it. Now it is time for you to pick the mantle and fight for those things you think are important. You are adults now time to fight your own battles, some of us have other battles to fight. Be grateful at least we are leaving you with a better position on the issue than we started with. If you lose the battle because you chose a candidate that cannot garner enough support to win the election that is not my fault that is your own fault"
You are correct, except for the portion of blame that goes to you for not voting in a way that furthers your own goals. That is on your conscience, not mine.
But as for the rest, you are correct. We've made a choice and now we get to deal with it.
Remember how backward you felt your parents' generation was? Remember how out of touch you thought they were?
You were right. Now think on that a little.

I never thought my Mother was backwards. My Mother was a true radical. She believed that the Armed Forces should have been integrated, not only with AA but with gays, before Harry Truman did. She supported a woman reproductive rights in the 1940's before it was popular. So I personally liked the Ideas of my Mothers generation at least those of liberal thinkers like her. See it was the Ideals fostered by many women of her generation that we were able to carry the banner and make realities. We didn't need to spit on the women like her in order to advance our causes and make ourselves feel progressive. We were progressive because we helped them see those causes advance and were never willing to sit back and say "well thats good enough."
