Go away Hillary. Go away Bill. You’ve never represented the progressive cause. You both have consistently sidelined the outspoken Left.
The vast majority of the people on this site continue to support and believe the Clintons are something worthy of admiration. Has anyone read anything critical of what the Clinton presidency did to progressive politics.
Don’t get me wrong, I also believed Bill Clinton to be a standard bearer of the Democratic Party. He isn’t. Neither is his wife. They are milquetoast Democrats bent on, demonstrated over and over again in their compromising (dem national policy) with Republicans.
I could care less what the Clintonista’s on this site will say, the vast majority of diarists and bloggers blindly supported a flawed candidate and continue to stand behind her/it. But but, she got more votes! Blah blah.
DailyKos, once upon a time, was a site for progressive ideas and activism. It’s what drew me to it. I was one of a dozen strikers at the initial tea party rally in Seattle with Glenn Beck. Now, it’s just a Democratic Party establishment machine churning out milquetoast articles when what is needed in today’s world is revolution and organized demonstrations.
What do we get here? Ads and milquetoast blog posts from apparently bored and apathetic bloggers of years past (E.g. Joan mcCarter).
This is one of the leading Democratic establishment sites. Criticism of Nancy Pelosi and any of the old guard that brought us where we are is stifled. Wake up readers. You’re being had.
