I've been noticing lately that the top 2-3 leading recommend diaries are usually pro-Obama followed by anti-Obama or vice versa (to be unforgivably simplistic).
DK is the one-stop shop for knowing: (a) what inspires us; (b) what pisses us off; and (c) where the fault lines are among us.
There's nothing hidden here. The MSM/tradmedia/corpmedia can come here and see what we are about. They can immediately know what we want, what we hear/see, and instinctively sense who we are, what we wrestle with, what we feel, where we disagree.
Above all, anyone can see that we disagree on process, strategy, tactics -- but never on GOALS or ENDS : a peaceful, forward-looking, rational, environmental, science-heeding, innovative, world-leading, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, individualistic, diverse, and UNITED nation.
That means that we own and control the progressive voice in this country.
Let's live up to that responsibility. Let's be true to ourselves.
When Obama pisses us off, let's make that loud and clear.
When he inspires us and gives us hope and perspective, let's hear that as well.
But above all, NEVER STOP GIVING A SHIT.
