Dailykos was hailed as a terrific site for democrats once. I remember kos' comments on saying just that--this is a proud site for democrats to elect democrats. Anyone who was not for democrats was basically not welcome on the site.
Through 2004, 2005, 2006, and most of 2007, this was true. Kos made headlines, published books, went on talk shows, and generally inspired many with this site.
Then came the campaign of 2008, beginning in 2007. Almost overnight, tho it actually did take a few months, this site was left unmanaged and is now been taken over such that "all democrats" are not welcome anymore. That is, democrats who question Obama. This site is no longer for "all democrats", its for all Obama people, all the time.
This is how the great dailykos went down in flames. Instead of helping democrats, this site has succeeded in dividing us. Anything that goes wrong with the annoited candidate is obviously Hillary's fault, not even the repugs which are playing this site, and democrats, like a finely tuned fiddle.
The increasing desperation of site users here is obvious. Very few substantive, world event diaries...only this theory or that theory on how to trash Clinton, or blame her for everything. The fog is so dense around here no other voices can get through. And its a freezing fog, you know, the kind that freezes you out and ices over everything.
So, good night, good luck, and maybe there will be room to talk after the general election. Hopefully then this site returns back to its once powerful status as a voice for democrats.
Oh yes, I expect the usual rudeness of "good riddance", and "so what", and changing tag lines, but you know, it doesn't faze me in the least. I've had enough insults here to last a lifetime. For now, I am elsewhere, and like it or not, the more people that are driven away from this site, the more likely the credibility goes with it.
I will not be responding to any comments, as I truly now am elsewhere and done with this site.
