As an activist, I finally figured out that advocating an affirmative agenda is easier than trying to stop someone else's agenda. tldr: offense beats defense. I try to share this hard earned wisdom with other noob activists. "Ya, ya, ya. I agree. Now tell me what you're FOR. What changes, reforms do you advocate?" It's not an easy sell. People are strongly inclined to punch back, join the food fight, get dirty.
