GOS blows its TOP. Calls Jill Stein "DICTATOR IN WAITING!" on the recommeded list.

This poor hysterical kossacks only evidence for her "DICTATORSHIP IN WATING," was she said that people needed to put pressure on the system to pass her agenda.

Stein was asked another question before exiting: if given so much power, how do you prevent the president from becoming a dictator? What actions of the presidency could go too far? Rather than answer, Stein offered a response that Bernie supporters and those who wanted “real Democracy” would need to put political pressure on the USSC in order to advance their goals. Stein offered this assessment: “Political pressure on the USSC led to gay marriage, abortion rights and more… we must also pressure the courts.” In other words: what we can’t get through executive order, we’ll get through public pressure on the courts.

And with that, Stein exited, answering no questions about how this future would function. As of this morning, July 20, it is unlikely that Jill Stein will make the ballot in any form in Kansas. With the Republican convention happening now, Stein’s early July meeting stands out as the difference in vision of our political parties and vision of the future.

Today, we have two American parties now proposing virtual dictatorships. Whether it is right-leaning in Trump or left-leaning as Stein, there is really only one campaign in America right now that understands what a president actually can and can’t do in the way of change. There is also only one campaign that seems to understand that minority voters are worthy of outreach and discussion

I think this is really pedantic, and it is shameful no kossack pointed this out. They really look like blithering idiots. I wonder what their private polling is showing that got them to twit out like this. At least they aren't ignoring her anymore.

Can you believe the blatant misogyny at that place? A woman has strong opinions and bold plans, so she's automatically a dictator. Clearly that site is infested with the worst kind of beneficiaries of white male privilege.

overwhelmingly white, upper middle class males. who, by the way, are willing to explode into sanctimonious victimhood when their echo chamber is bumped, or their brand of interwebs-social-justice isn't strictly adhered to.

i considered myself a liberal for a long time, until i was introduced to orangewater's winging, drenched parrot liberals. i used to consider myself a democrat as well. heh. how times change. i want nothing to do with any of those morons or their circle jerk.

I have another theory. Markos has realized that he has nothing to say that makes sense, so he needs a way out to close down his site. What better way than hire some people who ruin every thread and write diaries that makes the site a pile of ignoramuses writers pretending they have something important to say. There is a day, when he rightfully will say, enough is enough with this shit, I am closing down and selling out. And everybody will agree with him about that.... That's a happy ending and the moral of the story.

I don't know too much about and could live without some of their writers on the FP, but that's just my personal taste or interest.The rules and regulations on that site are also not ones I am too fond about. (Psst, I am too authoritarian, so don't listen to me) And I would like in hindsight to understand what has caused some pretty bitter feelings of some vis a vis Meteor Blades. It might have been a long time ago that these were caused and I don't think I need to get it explained in public, but I like to know as I missed it. I wished there were just some old fashioned going along well and some peace and love and kumbaya. I can't stand tensions. We have enough of those. I am tired of that.

The only thing I know of, he was a Bernie supporter, but of course he tried to keep it reasonable. I don't know if there were/are other issues. I am an MB supporter.

I like the rules/regs here better. JtC and the moderators are doing an excellent job, IMHO.

for them to be in the dkos coral. If they had no where to go with their collective insane nastiness thehy would be swarming all over the internet with their fanaticism and delusions. Easier to avoid when they all congregate on dkos. Well on the other hand they might help speed up the disintegration/implosion of the Democratic party by showing the online world just how nasty and deluded the party partisans are.

they would fade away into nothingness. Being in the coral and with the realization the folks here have a difficult time to 'unplug" from the TOP as JtC said before, their influence is nastier, I believe.

I even wondered if some folks just don't unplug for a reason. May be we have to wait til the elections are over to see if it's a real form of dependency from that site or was intentional. It would be nice if C99p becomes a thing that stands on its own without the back-loop mechanism to "the orange satans" blah, blah, blah.

long time.

Just because it is populated by idiots and sycophants doesn't mean we should ignore it any more than we should ignore Fox news.

We can't fight back against their spread of misinformation if we don't know what it is.

Like it or not, Dkos still has some "Prestige" as far as internet blogs go and is cited/talked about on many other blogs and media sources and to expect this place to be different in that regard isn't a realistic goal, at least not until TOP is populated with nothing but trolls and tumbleweeds. (Don't worry, at this rate that shouldn't take too much longer, lol!)

most of the Dkos diaries and Fox News broadcasts, I would be so sick that it would be really damaging to my well-being. I don't want to be exposed anymore. The fact that I still go and check now and then (like today Teacherken's and Reifowitz and La Feminista's diaires for example) doesn't help me much, I would just learn how much I erred in my own judgment about the election situation over time. I think my spontaneous, off the cuff comments, are just a tool for me to understand later on how much misjudgments I made.

I guess I am just weak and wished all of this shit would disappear in the hinterlands of the internet and not be concentrated at certain spots, where I can't help to pass by and run into them or it. Which leaves me in general upset. Why would that be good for my mental health? It isn't.

It is just as important to not wallow in their filth as it is to know it's there. Smile

I have been taking a break from politics myself for a few days to recharge before the Democratic Dog and Pony show Convention because it is indeed a dark and depressing time out there and we all have our limits on how much we can absorb and still remain who we are.

It's not weak to not dwell in places that make you unhappy, you just have strengths in different areas. Nobody is able to fill every role that the revolution requires at all times, it's quite enough that they just do what they can do.

There are enough of us that if everyone does so we should be covered on all fronts. Smile

I sometimes want to participate, leave a comment, whatever, but when I get a look at what's on the wreck (when was it ever more appropriate to use that spelling?) list, I can only think, "Never mind."

where we don't have to swear in blood who we WILL vote for.[And prove it, somehow!] I joined OT (like many refugees here) when Bush ascended. At that time, holding D seemed like the right course. O beating C for the nomination seemed correct, rMoney would have done things faster. Except maybe use drones elsewhere, we will never know.

I don't even like being in long orderly lines (think customer service when your connecting flight pushed back and being 30 sec too late). I have been mooing there for at least 30 years, silently in Europe. I have also been in surly mobs at USairways customer service desks.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

and blood. I think they're hurting and they know it. Panic mode is setting in. A voice in the back of their head is getting insistent. Nader! Nader! Nader!

Only now, at the end, do they realize they should have listened and dumped Shillary. But they can't, so the fear is becoming palpable.
