I laughed like hell when I read that one of the sites purpose is to support progressive ideas.

Is it possible that TOP now supports progressive ideas? Ancient American Progressive Voters say the answer is not just no, but a resounding no!!!

I've been watching too much Ancient Aliens! Missed that show and never heard of it. I'm now in the process of watching season 6 and I'm now seeing aliens everywhere I go, and one dude with really weird hair. TOP is filled with them. They're certainly not Grey's, as they have no intelligence. And they're by no means giants over there. I'm pretty sure they're the reptilians that crawled out from under a rock. Shape shifting and all that!!

band had its fullest complement and there were even two bass marimbas for Danny and another to play on occasion.
Their PA system was very good but stressed. Elfman was intense and in good voice. I saw the two shows the same weekend and I think they had 3 albums out. It was before Weird Science was issued so it was more punk influenced.

I've seen quite a few shows like The Kinks, Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Benatar(wow! what a sound system she had) and the like and O-B had every bit of stage presence and excellent ensemble playing as anyone. I think they qualify as wonderful - in my mind they were. Of the singer/songwriter genre only Buffy Sainte-Marie had a comparable band. Dylan was far behind the ones I've mentioned.

I caught Rush in Sacramento in like '92 or '93?

They are not my favorite band, or even style of music, but the AMOUNT of amazing sound just those three guys could perform was amazing to behold.

Watching Geddy Lee play a guitar with one hand. a keyboard with another while blowing into a harmonica was pretty damn impressive to behold.

My probably all time favorite show though was also in Sac, Fear Factory opening up for White Zombie.

It's kinda of a toss up though between several, The Police in Atlantic City in '83 was pretty awesome as well as Metallica in Philly in '85.

Damn, now that I think about it I have been to a shitload (that's metric right?) of concerts, lol!

Not even sure anything has changed, so why did Kos bother posting it?

Shorter Kos: "Only Dem Propaganda allowed. Take your free speech elsewhere".

And if they really want a "more progressive Democratic Party", why in gawds name are they pimping a Wall St/MIC Whore?

But ultimately, we are fighting to make ours a stronger, more effective, more progressive Democratic Party. Given our clear goals, these are our only ideological prohibitions:

- Advocacy for third parties or third-party candidates
- Advocacy for voting against Democrats or not voting at all
- Attacks on Democratic candidates based on right-wing rhetoric and frames

Humor is good for the soul! I happen to glance over there last night looking to see something that would make me laugh before I went to bed. And there it was, my bedtime story! I couldn't resist, I had to click it.

I've never read such pie in the sky nonsense from that fool in the past. This one was truly vomit inducing while at the same time giving lots of laugh. Some things I learned from the post... TOP is all about progressive values. It's one of the primary concerns. I can't figure out how censorship is progressive, but who knows maybe it's written in the fine print somewhere. And then there is the insight of the aftermath of the primaries. They were just terrible you know! But now, with the sun rising in the east again and setting in the west, the primaries over and the general election underway, we have all united!! All is harmonious, we love each other and can't wait for Hillary to steal win the presidency! Kumbaya it is baby!!!

So after reading the delusional ideas of a dictator and a repeat of his legal proclamations, I sat pondering the obvious question. Marcos, dude, why are you writing this? So I went over to Quantcast to check his website numbers and as much as I suspected, now that the conventions are over, his numbers are crashing again!! And just a week ago he was blowing his horn on how participation was back up and exceeding pre-Ides of March levels. Hey Markos, shit happens!!

Now I admit that I was almost tempted to sign in, something I haven't done in months, to leave him a simple message... "Hey Markos, Fuck You!!", but I'm saving myself for a much more glorious and lengthy departure. And then I went to bed, and slept soundly with a smile on my face.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

He really changed nothing. Just added a lot of blah, blah in an attempt to clarify blah, blah, blah. His bottom line? If you don't agree with the party line whatever it is whenever it is, you are not a Democrat.

Forget all the other rules, this is enough to keep the place derailed.

That’s the fundamental premise underlying all expectations about posting, commenting, and interacting with other site users. We are here to connect, unite, work together toward a common purpose, whether it’s to elect more and better Democrats, to advocate for specific issues, or even to socialize among like-minded friends.

Advocacy for third parties or third-party candidates

Democrats who can't criticize the party because any and all criticism is a rw attack even when it isn't, or when it is and they are right. The site is a place for mindless trolls who are good little paid and unpaid soldiers for the party. At least they no longer claim to be progressive or not brain dead.

...just so I can Recommend a diary that everyone else has blasted and no one has yet recommended. Usually they're the ones that praise Jill Stein, criticize the DNC, or question Hillary's intentions.
I read through the new "rules," and sure enough, there's a warning about Rec'ing diaries that break the other rules. So far I haven't received any warnings, but seriously, what are they going to do to me? I don't comment, just hit Rec. (In fact, I haven't been able to comment for months (since way before the dark days of March 2016) -- all I've been able to do since the latest version is type a comment, preview it, and then it goes into oblivion. No way to Save or Post.)
Not that I care anymore. I'll just keep Recommending the diaries that I love and that piss them off. It's kind of fun. Smile
