It is 11:43am on February 8, 2016 in Southern California, and I am FED UP.
The Front Page of Dailykos the day before the New Hampshire primary has the following:
- A story about the Iowa Republican party
- A good report on the Flint Water crisis
- A hit piece on Cruz
- A story on Trump
- A story on Rubio
- Another story about Cruz
- Another story about Trump
- Cartoons (yay!)
It is, most definitely to me, a WTF moment. Why aren’t there more stories about OUR candidates and what they’re doing in New Hampshire??? Why aren’t there reports about what they are campaigning about, and a sense of how well they’re doing?
Please be advised. I DO NOT come here to find out how despicable every single atom of every single Republican is the most evil satanic representation on Earth. That is a given. That is why I am here.
I DO come here to find out how my team is doing, and I am repulsed, disheartened, and upset that the only news I receive about MY CANDIDATES is in the diaries. To which a HEARTY thank you for those who try to give us some sort of context about the events the news media are only partially reporting.
That’s what I thought DailyKos was about. Electing Democrats, not demagoguing on Republicans. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think that.
So stop. Please stop with the relentless GOP hate. It isn’t helping us elect Hillary, or Bernie or whichever Democrat finally wins our nomination. It just doesn’t. I don’t need to know how bad the other side is. You can’t possibly make them any worse than I already think about them.
What I DO need to know is what OUR SIDE is up to.
Why can’t I get that at DailyKos???
