How long do you get to make someone wait for your advocacy efforts to pan out before you are, de-facto, ignoring their specific interests?
They aren’t ignoring the issue, caring about the issue is an advocacy group’s whole MO; but at some point a willingness to tell people that any solution to their problem is being deferred until the good fight is won starts to look an awful lot like subordinating the interests of the actual people who actually have a problem day in and day out to the abstract advancement of the cause.
