I love dailyKos for all it's wonderful insight and snarkiness. I'd love it even more if we could add regional dailyKoses or is it Kosii(?) to dailyKos. Think of it as each region or major metro areas political sandbox.
The reason I ask this is below the fold...
FredFred was actively trying to find out if there was something that VA based Kossaks could do to give $$$ to help turn VA blue this election cycle. I was all for this and eagerly wanted to participate.
Well, his diary on how we could help must have flown by in a nanosecond (I'm on dailyKos almost constantly) because I missed his diary on his interaction with the VA Dems and how we could help. It wasn't until he posted an update did I see what he had accomplished.
All politics is local and I think it would be great if we could set up mini-Koses up at a regional or major metropolitan area basis, so that we can discuss local political issues important to us, while leaving dailyKos open for national issues. And at the regional level, we could try to participate more in the real world either through meetup or drinking liberally.
We need to keep doing the work we've been doing here at the local level. And dailyKos is a great place to do this.
I know I'll get "wait until after Nov. 2nd" responses which is fine and I hate to put more work on Kos and his wonderful staff of techies who keep this site from crashing under immense stress. I just want to put this idea out there to think about and see if there is interest.
I'll post a similar diary after Nov. 2.
