I come to dKos a lot. I'm liberal & progressive, so much so that I want to heal the rif between the blues and reds, the dems and repubs - after all, we are all people - we have some common ground.
Since I've been here and I know what we think (and I realize there are differences among us), I thought I would go over to the other side and see how they think. Maybe start some dialoge - nothing too risky (or so I thought).
I lasted about 3 posts. 2 posts were for a diary no one read so only 1 post got me booted. The diary was about getting ready for war in Iran, which those over there is deemed as necessary and that we can win it.
Since we are having such a hard time with the Iraq war, I thought that would be a fair topic to bring up,
"how can we fight 2 wars at the same time and expect to win them both?"
That comment got me booted! So much for trying to bridge the divide.
(the answer is a draft, "like in the '50's.")
We are lucky at DKos that even though people post differing opinions they are not booted from posting anymore. This provides us with a much bigger pool of ideas to work from.
It's also good to know Red State has a very small membership - when I was there I soon recognized most of the users names, seemed like there were really only a handful posting on the whole site.
Take the Challenge!
make up a user name and see how long YOU last!
