I am new to Daily Kos. I am decidedly “leftist” in my views, generally. I am trying to post (share) what I think of as political satire/humor and I’m trying to find the correct tag for it.
I see in some of the comments that my 3 posts have received so far that they have generated some confusion as to what I’m up to. Some have suggested it is “snark”, but I don’t feel that is correct. I don’t like the “snide” part of that word which to me connotes meanness, nor the “sarcastic” part which to me connotes some bitterness. Trump and his cronies are certainly pushing me in that direction, but I am trying to resist. I am going for a more gentle approach, or at least trying to, with an attempt to bring some humor into the current political discussion. But I don’t want to mislead anyone while doing so.
My plan is to edit my three existing posts, adding tags of satire and humor (even though to me it sounds a little presumptuous to assume what I may think is funny extends to others). But I’ll do it and see what happens.
I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this matter.
Thank you for reading this.
