which in the upside down is right side up world of the Hillary 24/7 blog means it makes perfect sense.

Their loss.

In his career.

The man was nearly Rabbinical in his efforts to expose injustice and unfairness. Add in the fact that he was funny as hell, and you see why comedy nowadays just doesn't work as well as it used to. There's SO many good targets but nobody's "Allowed" to talk about them.

He's on the memberlist.

I'm so excited, virtually all my favorite writers are here, except for Hunter and Crashing Vor (I thought someone told me CV was here but I haven't seen him?)

And Meteor Blades, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

WTF, I can't believe the Rooster got banned--no explanation and no warning? Sounds like they really did give Trix the banhammer. That's bullshit, s/he'll just swing it against everyone s/he hates, for a reason or not. Total grovelling, power-hungry self-important douchenozzle....

Well, I am not a writer but I am a reader so I guess that counts for something!

gave much of a fuck about getting credit for anything I ever wrote, but now that it's all in the past I just have to give in to my vanity and brag that your sigline is Puddytat's rendering of an idea I wrote there last June ... she nominated it for TC, one of maybe a half-dozen times I ever made that grade. mostly, i'm singularly proud of it because it succinctly says almost everything i have to say in rebuttal to every lame party-faithful effort to blame those darned voters for not, you know, voting, rather than blaming the party elite for not, you know, giving the voters something to vote for.

Because the party leadership has been abysmal. Outside of issuing press releases and daily fundraising appeals, they do nothing.

We have new leadership now. Hopefully, they'll work with grassroots organizations and create a better activist network throughout the state. And, hopefully, they'll stop with the corporate Democrat nonsense and start promoting the progressive values that are at the heart of Wisconsin.

You don't motivate the vote sitting in an office issuing press releases and "statements". You do it by being active throughout the state and listening to and engaging the voters.

It's funny, when a corporation goes into a tailspin because people aren't interested in their products, nobody argues that the problem is lazy customers.

What a great analogy

Three days later she linked the comment in the diary where she formulated your sig (i deleted the link, cuz ... well ... you know):

When half or more of eligible voters stay home, they are not the problem. They just don't like the products on display. When I go to the grocery store and see a choice between crap cereal and shit cereal, I'm not buying cereal. It's not my problem, it's the cereal makers' problem.

There was a recent fine comment that noted that a failing business doesn't blame lazy customers for not showing up. Political parties and candidates could take a lesson from that and improve their products.

if anyone else other than Jonathan had written that diary they would have been skull and cross-boned. Suspect the timeout was an act of cowardice on the part of site management to avoid embarrassing blowback and accusations of censorship. (due to Tasini being well known outside of Kos world).
