Well.
I show up to daily kos early in the morning, even before abbreviate pundit round up hits the front page and lo and behold, a quick perusal of the wreck list indicates that today will be yet ANOTHEr day where diarists and commenters try to convince each other that their own viewpoint is right and that the other viewpoint is wrong and there will be meta.
sigh.
I'm over it.
I get it folks. Some of us cannot possibly support [fill in the blank] and are right to oppose half assed measures to urgent problems. Others of us simply cannot abide those who don't support [fill in the blank] and are wrong and shortsighted and counterproductive in being oppositional.
I must say this to both of "you": STOP WASTING BANDWIDTH. Seriously. We TOTALLY get it. We've seen the arguments on both ideas. Like 40 gabillion times and we're sick of it. You've only been making your point for, I dunno, it feels like forever.
So for the vast majority of us who are not "into" useless, pointless, circular masturbatory firing squads, here's my list of other shit you can do today instead of hanging out for the META on DKos. (most of these i've done over the years to avoid the CRAP days here).
