A Swan Song
I joined Kos in 2006 and was so grateful to find agreement and support
among my fellow Kossacks who were protesting the possibility that Bush
and Cheney were planning to invade Iraq. I found such comfort in knowing
there were people who shared my values and perceived things as I did.
That was almost 17 years ago.
I never dug in..did not write diaries nor spend too much time on the site because
I was running a business and was over my head but I knew Kos was there and I
was grateful. I always worked for, contributed to and supported the Democratic Party
and candidates that I admired. I checked in whenever I could and usually found myself in agreement with the current sentiments, candidates and political goals…until Pete Buttigieg was considered too mainstream and corrupt.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a comment about the ‘progressive wing’s’ reevaluation of support
for Ukraine and quoted Barrack Obama when I said Woke is Loosing Us Elections. I was
criticized and barred from commenting for 24 hours. Someone asked me if “Woke was a pejorative”?.
Since I was blocked, I could not answer YES!
I have had it with WOKE..it is loosing us elections and in some instances has made the progressive wing
of the Democratic Party as out of touch and as crazy as the most rabid right wingers.
We are loosing Hispanics and blacks and just plain folk who do understand that WOKE, which came out of the black
community as a plea for social justice, has become so extreme and convoluted that it is now a national joke.
I still have hope that women will pull this election out. Being blocked from commenting has made me realize that I am too moderate or mainstream or whatever to survive on Koss. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the years I found agreement and support here.
