86. It's not my intention to call you ignorant.
However, the things that you are arguing are contrary to the facts. His activism has been constant since his first notoriety in 1965, and just because he isn't always in the news doesn't mean he isn't doing anything; his activism doesn't always have immediate media appeal. The vast majority of his efforts go completely unnoticed by both the media and by policymakers. If he is only it for attention, he's not very good at it.

And as far as imputing nefarious motives to him, all I can say is that he's not a Democrat. He isn't a member of the party and isn't obliged to work towards its interests. Sometimes he works with members of the Democratic Party, when individuals are pursuing the same issues, and sometimes he works against the Party; but that's his prerogative because, again, he's not a Democrat and doesn't owe them anything.
