Well, at long last, it’s about that time. Yeah, it’s actually going to happen; Hillary The Devil is finally going to pack it up. But the end of Hillary’s campaign is just the beginning of an existential crisis for most of us here on Daily Kos. Where next do we direct our psychotic hate for all things Clinton? Where now do we find the foil to keep our delusions of Barack Obama’s sainthood inflated?
McCain won’t do; he acts too much like a Democrat, right down to his sponsorship of an illegal alien amnesty bill. And besides, McCain is already hated and bashed far more intensely and effectively on Republican sites, so that kinda takes the wind out of any of our efforts.
Having spent the past five months troll-rating, shouting down, and driving away nearly every Hillary Clinton supporter, to the point that Daily Kos degenerated and fractionalized into an embarrassing "writer’s strike," and having seen our own fearless leader out-Limbaughing Rush Limbaugh by calling for an Operation Chaos stunt before even Limbaugh did, we are all just left with..... well, we're left with what we've pretty much had here for the past three months - a boring Daily Obama circle jerk. And even THAT’S not legit, since Markos and most of us here on Daily Kos were so late jumping on the Obama band wagon. Daily Kos will never be regarded as ground floor in the Obama dynasty, no matter how much we pretend otherwise.
This is shaping up as the year that Blacks showed their racism and women showed their sexism. Oh, and the year when Daily Kos jumped the shark – going from a leader to a follower, and from a voice of reason and substantial debate to an orange-colored Huffington Post.
