Or that's what two popular diaries I read today tell me. They also tell me that Obama is milquetoast, incapable of holding his own against other ideas, unable to navigate the choppy waters of politics. We rail against the conservatives for their policy failures. We rail against our own for policies that haven't even been tried.
Frankly, I'm about two fucking steps from GBCWing my way outta here in a big stinking diary calling out every stupid thing I've read on this site . . . in the two weeks since we won the election.
I knew this election would destroy the conservatives by once and for all proving that they do not represent the will of the American people. I did not expect that it would cause the progressive movement to begin falling all over each other to find a new enemy: an enemy within. I thought that "More Better Democrats" meant we would keep corruption out of our party. I failed to understand that it meant we would flaying the skin off of our allies that lost the Primary.
I thought this site was suppposed to be about electing Democrats. Apparently I missed the part in the FAQ where we agreed to tear them down right afterwards.
I thought people here were serious about advancing the progressive movement for the benefit of the people. I was not aware that the point was to destroy the movement within a month of our victory.
At this point I regret paying for an "advertisement-free" view of this page. So vibrant during the primary, I hoped there were the seeds of a movement here. An organzational structure that we could build on, doing public service between elections, improving our party during them.
I guess I was fucking wrong.
