Basically diaries that pretend to be pro Bernie, but end up Bashing Bernie as well as set up flame wars by calling out Hillary supporters then attacking them as a precursor to diary points is not allowed as well as right-wing sources. I realize this is going to be hard for a lot of Bernie Supporters because it is basically a reality check that Bernie has not won the primary.
I honestly think this is the bigger issue that many supporters are having because they do not want the truth about the the primary being over. In their mind there is still a chance Bernie could come back and win this. Some are honestly supporting Bernie hoping to go to the convention as well. The problem is not them and they can still support what Bernie stand for in their eyes it is the people who go out of their way to put right-wing sources up knowing for a fact what they are doing. That is the difference between debating a issue and using a issue to bash someone over the head with who doesn’t agree with you.
Personally I rather us still have logical debates just not the flame wars or the I am right and you are wrong. If we can still talk about things like gentleman and ladies then there should be no problem discussing the issues we used to do that a lot on dailykos without insulting each other for who we support. As a progressive I like being able to discuss things. Just because I do not always agree with it doesn’t mean I do not like researching more. That is what makes us progressives different from most is because most do not just sit by on a issue we actually do research it on our own.
Take for example my ITP that I go through. The doctor tells me things of what he knows then my Aunt and I research otherways of doing it. Just because sometimes we do not agree with the Doctors treatment plan doesn’t mean we stop going to him. Thankfully I have a doctor is who is willing to listen to advise if we bring it in. Plus we do not hold what we bring in above his head instead we are trying to work together to make things better for the treatment plan. That is the difference of what is not happening right now we are not working together. Now for me I have been in outpatient care so I missed a lot of the discussion on this yesterday and the day before. I spent 9am to 6pm thursday getting a platelet transfusion, a steroid treatment, and ratixun done. Then I had to come back the next day for a IVG or whatever it is called.
My platelets were down to 13k. If it kept dropping I would have been hospitalized again. While I was in outpatient care I had gotten the results back of my platelets being down. Now at first they were not going to give me a treatment to raise the platelets. Information wasn’t being passed on that I had already started to have the little dots show up of internal bleeding. When I found out I was not going to have a treatment to raise the platelets I called the doctors office and asked one simple question do I need to check into the hospital after I am done because my platelets are low and I am already showing signs of internal bleeding.
Well apparently me doing that upset the outpatient nurses because I was apparently not suppose to call my doctor instead they were suppose to communicate. One simple question apparently started a wild fire within their site because nobody told me I wasn’t suppose to call my doctor and talk to them while I was there. Simple thing is because we weren’t communicating instead going our separate ways on a issue we made matters worse. When I talked to the nurses told them what I did in the end we apologized to each other and each took a little of the blame. Instead of keeping it as a bashing tool to use over the head and cause even more damage we were able to move on. That is basically what is happening here with Kos post.
It isn’t that you can not write diaries about Bernie just do not bash Hillary within the Diary. Surely we can all come to agreement that if someone wants to talk about a important issue they still can make a wonderful diary about it with it being just on the issue not using the issue as a political tool to hang over someones head. Like what I did on communicating in the end with the nurses we can come back together on discussing actual issues and do what we progressives do best try to work together on solving the problems. Because to me that is what makes us progressive is the fact we do care and are willing to care so much we put our hearts into the issues. We are not always going to agree on certain things, but at least we can be civil to each other and try to remember we are all adults here.
