This will be my last post on Kos - yeah, I know, don't let the door hit me on the ass on the way out. Don't worry, I won't.
I've found the site mostly useless, and to be honest I am sick to death of politics, particularly online liberals and Democrats, because they won't fucking
DO anything. The world is going to hell, and most Democrats would rather wring their hands and take potshots at each other - so fuck it. My life is too short to waste on this shit.
And this site, I'm sorry to say, has been particularly pointless for me. Thanks to the few people who commented (assuming anyone bothers to read this entry), and good luck to you in the future.
I'll vote Democratic until a viable progressive third party comes along, but I can no longer delude myself into thinking that any of THIS - this online bullshit - means anything at all. It's a huge, pointless circle jerk, and if it actually had any potential to make a real change, the Republicans and big money people would have shut it down.
I suspect they actually PREFER that sites like this stay up, to get liberals to waste their energy in a completely ineffective way.
I was particularly sickened to watch Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu kissing GOP ass on CNN over their relief efforts during Hurricaine Katrina - it was ridiculous enough that the reporter got pissed off. Just a last confirmation (as if I needed one) that the war is over, and my side lost.
My fear is that this means the human race is ultimately fucked, too. But all I can do now is take care of my own.
