So I call my Dad on the phone. We rant about the sorry state of world affairs. Something is not right, though. It is as if we are just going through the motions, acting out a play that someone else has already written, directed, and acted in. I call my Brother and the story is the same.
I tell him about the latest outrage, he repeats back another outrage. I quickly realize that both of us already know everything that the other is about to say and that we are just repeating to each other information that we both already know. It's still pretty fun to vent, but it's almost like I'm standing above watching two people have a conversation. I'm not just talking about one issue here or there. I'm talking about anything political that we might bring up. Between Dailykos and other blogs, Moveon, PFAW, Howard Dean, and other sources there's just nothing new to be said anymore.
So now I'm asking the people of Dailykos for help. It's your damn fault in the first place. All of these media venues pushing out the latest progressive talking points, and watching them spread virally. The progressive viewpoint is out there, it is being spread efficiently, and people are listening. It just might save our nation, but damn you all it's ruining my conversation with family members!!!!
So, I need advice. It's the least you folks can do for me in exchange for all the damage that you've done to myself and my family.
What's a fellow supposed to do?
