Its here. At first I thought Kos was going to be a bit more well, open-minded, but here it is. This is no longer a blog for liberals to chat and discuss and build for the Democratic Party.
Instead, its a blog for Obama.
I know this is Kos's blog and he can do whatever the $%^#!& he wants with it. That is all fine. I know that around 80-85% of the bloggers here are men and they never supported Hillary and so that is fine too. I know that there are a lot of very sad Edwards supporters here and they are pretty much (at least on this blog) going to Obama. That's all fine too.
But let's not pretend for a second that this is a free-speech zone for liberals to support Democrats. You can only truly get your voice heard here if you agree with the dominating viewpoint. I know this. If I think the Kennedys don't have the greatest record on women, then my comment gets totally vaporized. Gone. Its like something out of 1984. With over 500 "thank yous" to TK, would my one comment have REALLY hurt 'the cause' that much? Its come to the point where I have to comment now and add that note "please, obama supporters, don't get mad at this". Its almost like an abuser/abused situation. And you wonder why there are few women bloggers on here?
Kos doesn't have to do ANYthing about this. And neither do you. But if this is a reality-based community, and that is a big if, ya'll should face up to the fact that once there is a dominating viewpoint--in this case obama for president--nothing else is truly tolerated here. And thats pretty gross, in my ever so humble please-dont-get-mad-obama-people view.
I'll still be here to kick around (I know that doesn't please too many of you) because I'm not into ignoring people I don't like. I'll still read what you have to say, and comment where I can. But this aint dailykos.com anymore its obamakos.com
UPDATE: NO COUNTRY BUT BLOG FOR OLD MEN
from LithiumCola. men are closer to 70% and older. not 80%. this point is taken and is now posted here.
