A charismatic leader would be great, but the movement needs inspired, focused leadership to grow in numbers and take part in nonviolent activities-- like these protests but **MORE** – that will have impact on society. There is momentum now and it will need to be directed. I believe that will happen… The sooner, the better.

I’m sorry you have such a low opinion of the rest of us. In my opinion, though, it isn’t all or nothing. It’s everything you can do, then maybe do a little more. I don’t suppose that if we all sit at home instead of doing protests that leadership will suddenly appear where there was none before. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-i-decided-to-vote-for-california-prop-50-in-november/1023530)._
