Elections don't matter. The Dems are the same as the Republicans. Obama is a sell out. The jobs plan will do nothing.
And so on and so forth.
On every thread, some posters just have to throw in some defeatist comment of that kind. No substance. No suggestions. Just gainsaying for the sake of gainsaying.
Well, I have an idea about that. Well, a minor suggestion of sorts. Actually, a Modest Proposal:. Here it is:
A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Defeatists and Nay-saying Comments on the Daily Kos from being a Burden on this Partisan Blog and Country and for making them Beneficial to the Publick:
Purge them. HR them. Such comments have no business here.
This is a Partisan Democratic Reform Blog. 'Tis elections season, and the winds are howling. We need to ensure those winds are at our back. We need strong rigging strong and a firm hand on the rudder. We have a captain, and he is calling on us to do our duty.
Comments and actions that improve our rigging that helps propel our ship forward is the key.
Constructive criticism keeps those sails up. Keeps us moving forward.
Gainsaying does not. Whining and defeatism takes us off course.
Such comments have no business here. So, I modestly suggest hr'ing them.
'Tis the Season. And the Purge is on.
