kos just said that all you guys and gals
are nothing but enablers of racists getting in power and that Bernies superdelegate coup is motivated by white privileged feelings of entitlement ... or somesuch.
A Sanders superdelegate coup doesn't need to be motivated by racism to be white privilege
I guess someone likes to incite some hot feelings on dailykos and profit from the excitement and the clicks. Unforgivable.
If this were to happen, our party’s voters of color and the woman they back would be nullified in favor of the white male candidate predominantly supported by white men. This doesn’t mean that those pushing for this outcome, or Bernie Sanders himself, are racist. But it does betray a breathtaking amount of white privilege—a willful refusal to see that the policies they are advocating, for the benefit of themselves, would once again disenfranchise communities of color. They’d get the outcome they wanted, so what’s wrong with that?
To be clear, if you are advocating for Bernie’s superdelegate coup, you are not racist. You certainly have an autocratic lack of respect for the will of the voters, but that doesn’t make you racist. But the outcome of that superdelegate coup would absolutely be racist, And sexist.
Nice try, kos.
Try something else tomorrow. May be you read Jonathan Turley and Bruce Fein on Breaking Through Poser ... just for your own benefit. And think about the egg and chicken problem. What came first? Or may be which coup came first? Who violated "due process" first?
Comments
It may be a two pronged strategy.
Officially making gestures of unity while orchestrating liberal pundit attacks on Bernie. Not sure.
I'm happy about how well Bernie has done and will follow and support the movement associated with him. This is the best the Left has done.
Kos does not matter. Even Hillary. If not her, it woukd have been Biden or someone else.
Maybe it's a two-pronged strategy
Or maybe it's just that their sense of aggrieved entitlement gets the best of them on a daily basis. It makes no earthly sense to be insulting potential voters every day, but they are just so damned FURIOUS that the left refuses to fall in line when they're told to that they lash out. I know this - if one of them talks about how we need unity, I never hear that ring of authenticity that is unmistakable when one of them is saying we are "f-ing retarded." THAT, they really mean.
And as for Biden - i know his history and have never been a fan. But he does pay us the minimal respect of not insulting us to our faces. He even compliments us upon occasion. And he smiles. I've been reduced to appreciating that. it's become very rare among professional Democrats.
Twain Disciple
He's a smiling rat
who helped impoverish an entire generation of youth due to his sell-out to the banks, and pushing for a specific carve-out against bankruptcy discharging student debt. I won't even go into his familial connections with foreign governments and fracking, let alone his history of blatant creepy sexism. Eeew. When he smiles that horsey grin I can only think of the kids who can't even afford dental care because of that bastard.

suggest
Yeah, I know. Sigh.
But it's a visceral thing when, like Barbara Boxer, they're yelling "Hillary has more votes! yay!" and blowing kisses - then tightening their snooty little mouths and saying those evil lefties made them fear for their lives. Or, like Barney Frank, intoning that Bernie is a "McCarthyite" and we are "dumb" for supporting him. Or saying Sanders is responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre. Or saying Bernie and we are racists and sexists. Or... Oh,God, this whole primary has exposed such unrelenting hatred by the professional Democrats for the portion of the party's base of which I have always been a part. There are no words for how much I despise these people, for how much I regret every penny I ever sent them, every vote I cast for them.
Even a moment or two of surface respect, as hypocritical as it is, is so rare.
Twain Disciple
I go back to 2000 when I was in the Greens.
Many believed the Dems could not be reformed. Events suggest they were right.
But exposing them as Bernie has done is good.
Just watched Bernie on Maher's show, a video of his appearance. This is the best we have done. I will listen to what he says going forward and seriously consider his choices.
Bernie is not going softly in the night.
Disgusting
kos is fucking bigot so blinded by his own male and wealth privilege he feels he has the right to lord over and berate everyone else even those who have less privilege than he does (women, gays, lower income etc). Pathetic meglomaniac, little petty man that he is.
Not to mention, his posts are so dishonest, low end garbage that he qualifies for a hack no better than Rush Limbaugh or the slimest scumbags out there.
He built up his website on the backs of progressives and then did a little bait and switch to transform his business to be a propaganda mouthpiece for Clinton, Inc. Snake oil salesman comes to mind.
As a businessman, he certainly treats his customers like shit and as a so called progressive--he's lost any creds he may have ever had.
and I will let him know
to his face at NN16 in St. Louis.
the little things you can do are more valuable than the giant things you can't! - @thanatokephaloides. On Twitter @wink1radio. (-2.1) All about building progressive media.
I never thought he was much of a progressive.
And he certainly isn't either thoughtful or an intellect.
I appreciated the community and avoided, for the most part, his posts.
Poor dclawyer!
I always liked him/her. Invited him/her to join the Lifeboat, back in the day. Sheesh. Markos is being a class-A jerk, just like his candidate.

"YOU must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
So What?
Kos has already destroyed his credibility, so when he casts aspersions against those of us who abandoned his site and reduced his click fees, he's only lashing out blindly. No one here cares what he says about us, for who still listens to him? No one who matters.
Let it -and HIM- go.
Vowing To Oppose Everything Trump Attempts.
Yes, he is just speaking to those who already agree.
Trying to whip up outrage and ... wait for it ... donations to Daily Kos from angry Clinton supporters who want to reward dkos.
He and the Rest of the Corporate Media Are Making Us The Other
That's what this is about. He's whipping up a tribe that he and the Establishment can send out into political battle.
Heh. He's creating a Tea Party. Kos' Tea Party... fucking irony and satire are dead.
“Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” ~ Sun Tzu
An yet Bernie may win the Cal primary.
What Kos says has little impact, if nay, outside of Daily Kos.
It's a self-contained world for politics nerds.
As people on the street. They never heard of Daily Kos.
I Think It Was Quite Influential.
It hit activists hard. There were some fantastic writers there. It broke major stories, it created strong political memes which were picked up and actually acted on in the national and state levels.
I think it has great impact, still, on activism. It has been a tremendous lightning rod, short circuiting the Left for a decade. Now it is a kamikaze attack vehicle that is being shot at the American Left. I think there's plenty of powder in there to harm a populist movement.

I don't know.
It made little different in 2007-08 when Edwards won the blog by far and people in Iowa did not care.
It can raise money and some issues, but I wonder how much it ever mattered.
Unions got involved in Dkos 2007, but faded away when there posts went nowhere.
There were some interesting folks when I got there, but many left during the Obama years.
I met Tasini there. He no longer posts at all.
Maybe it matters. Maybe it did.
But I'm detached. I just find it hard to care one way or another.
Interesting intellectual question.
Bernie raised over 100 million, maybe 200 million and Daily Kos opposed him all the way. BNR raised $80,000over a year. Good, but many millions raised outside Dkos.
The Bernie movement will make more change and outlive Daily Kos's limited influence.
That's interesting. Can we invite the unions here?
And Tasini?

Hmm...
Anybody who doesn't support Bernie and does not support any idea he comes up with, is against all of those who are Jewish and are therefore not supporting that act is anti-Semitic - even though you personally are not an anti-Semite. See how that works?
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?
Oh and...
Hillary has already come up with one of the most sexists things I have seen in this campaign - a pink 'sexist card'. Will (ed.) Markos come up with a vaguely brownish-grey 'racist card'?
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?
*Sigh*
One last thing. I am done. I am not going over there anymore. Not to recommend a diary, not to up rate something, not to help anybody out. I am done. Not going to do it, my friends. Sorry in advance.
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?
sorry for that, I just wanted to read the BNR
and the frontpage had just his story pop up at first sight. Couldn't help to find that headline alone so horrible, I couldn't resist reading it.
https://www.euronews.com/live
Not your fault...
I have had a personal policy of only going there if somebody here asked me too. Earlier today, I wanted to check out some comments that people made when Bill Moyers (Bill Fucking Moyers!) posted a diary on Kos. But with Kos's screed about racism (changes some words around it sounds almost exactly like Rush Limbaugh), I'm done. No need to apologize.
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?
Yep. The Rush is strong in that one.
I've spent a fair amount of time analyzing the messaging on right wing radio, and tracking talking points.
And, for the past few weeks, I've really been getting a Limbaugh vibe from c99ers reporting on these incidents and describing their reactions.
It is exactly how folks on the left reacted when I showed them an occasional Limbaugh's rant. But what struck me was their interactions with TOPper community members, some who they knew well. It was strongly reminiscent of the signature way Limbaugh used his "Dittohead" followers. The things they said, and the furious recitation of the "talking points" all co-mingled with an undertone of desperation for Rush's approval — it's a very creepy re-enactment.
WTF?
once you are there, you're stuck.
You are bound to run into something ugly, and your mood will become as ugly as what you read. I haven't been to the BNR for several days. Missing it less and less.

Add on all the written crap if you post criticism about what's-her-face. The Bernster will blow hairball-brain out of the water if there's a debate. I sure hope so. Rec'd!
Inner and Outer Space: the Final Frontiers.
I havent been to BNR or commented at dk all week.
I don't even have any responses from anyone in the last 30 days. That page is totally blank. I want to support the Bernie diaries but not at the expense of my mood. The place so thoroughly pisses me off, I really am better off not going there. Do I have a hard and fast resolution to never click it again? I'll click it when it suits me. The dkos habit however is slowly going away.
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon

Maybe something is wrong with me
Maybe I'm overly aloof, but seriously, I just do not go there. It holds no interest to me. I'm not even tempted. I suppose I've been like this in previous breakups too. It's very, very easy for me to walk away from things in general and never think about them again. Then one day, maybe I will, and then I won't again. I used to think more people were like that until people started to say "You're really aloof" or sometimes "You're really Stoic."
Maybe some combination of both. Unsure. I just don't go there though. I will someday, perhaps, but the sheen is gone for now, and I don't care about going one way or another -- it never even enters into my consciousness. Perhaps because I am in love with all of these new places, people, and ideas. Maybe if I'm ever in the DK neighborhood, I'll stop by and see if the area has improved. Otherwise, no interest. It's like, it leaves me cold inside and a bit bored to think about it. I'm surprised to type this much about it, but I feel some need to explain since people really must wonder since I don't go there, don't read, don't care about the meta-drama there, don't log in and tip, nothing.
Guess I'm a rolling stone, gathering no moss.
I can think of names I miss and wish I could talk with though… dearly. Maybe some are here. Maybe not.

I deleted the 14 ear old bookmark (only my Atrios bookmark is older) shortly after the banning, and avoided most of the Look AT This Train Wreck Of A Post links, but the couple times I relapsed I was quickly reminded that not only is it as bad as I thought, but worse, and my brain is still trying to process how it could go the way of Little Green Footballs like this.
Oddly I don't do this with relationships, which I can and do easily walk away from when they become dysfunctional. But to see a whole community lose its identity over one not even charismatic [cult?] leader?

when it
started getting really ugly over there in January/February I got disabled from commenting for a few days (or week can't remember) and all the yak was about "we're only interested in HRC support here" ... I just got sick of it and was sent off for work to another state... looked at some of the stories twice while I was away from home for 2 months for about 5 minutes each time... never commented. And haven't been back since, I had some mild withdrawal symptoms but the place was too toxic... haven't been back since Feb.... I'm not the slightest interested in what is being posted or commented over there any longer. There is nothing there to miss... was pretty surprised my diatribes against current trade policy (FreeTradeIsYourEpitpah) didn't resonate there with as many people who I thought were democrats or thought like a democrat should. I see nothing democratic about our trade agreements .. they are the most corporatist/fascist policies passed in this nation by far in my lifetime is my opinion. There is nothing but the Clintons written all over these policies (along with other like minded corporatist democrats and republicans) and can't, and will not support the policies or candidates supporting these policies for the rest of my life. To this day a believable or logical argument to support these trade policies has yet to be made by anyone anywhere and all the evidence points to the exact opposite of what they have always argued (media blowhards) ie: create 2 jobs for every job outsourced, our exports will increase as the middle class in 'emerging' economies will create jobs, yada yada yada ... not one thing they've said is true or have come even close to true ... in 24 years. How much evidence do people need?
They can go bark up some other tree for support, I'm not having it. I have seen homelessness on a scale in this country like I have never seen ever in the past 6 years as I travel a lot far and wide... saw no homeless camps or even beggars with signs in several countries in South America that I have visited and they have poverty by the bucket loads. But then again they allow people to put up shanty's and makeshift housing and they live there at least peacefully and sheltered somewhat whereas in Amerika they just root up homeless tent cities and send them off somewhere because it hurts someone's beautiful mind.
You wrote good posts.
Union issues and trade rarely did well there. Many don't get it. Leo Gerard, the head of the Steelworkers would post there, and it was ignored. Teamsters used to post there, but gave up. I met Change to Win people, including union leaders, at Dkos 2007. Their internet person would send me press releases and stories. They gave up on TOP by 2010 or so.
I think " blogging" may be declining. Facebook gives everyone a blog.
I also think it is ineffective.
I go by every morning to rec BNR and any Bernie posts on the rec
list, but find it harder and harder to do.
I'll do it through California.
Letting go of the place helps my serenity.
There's nothing there for me. If I wanted to read red baiting, which Kos also did, I'd read Republicans.
For you...

a good laugh really helped to put out the flames erupting from my hair. Larry David is a genius.
He is a Republican
as long as the Democratic party's leadership and apparatchik are nothing but authoritarian ex Republicans or Third Way 'radical centrist's' with D's after their names I don't want anything to do with them. I hope they lose and lose big so we the people can drive a stake through their black hearts and get a party that is democratic. This will not hold as the majority of people are not this greedy, stupid, hateful of fearful. This is not voting it's extortion and blame. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for preying on the poc, older people, the poor and women voters in regions and demographic's that have forever been disenfranchised.
I am not a violent person (except in thought)
but driving a stake or steak (larger) through the heart works well. I think I could still sleep, maybe better than now.
What instrument would one use to shove a steak through a virtual body? 2X4?

I'd use a meat grinder attachment to that overpriced mixer, and connect it to the sausage skin thing and shove THOSE through a hole made angling upward just under and a bit to the left of the sternum.

And the disabled....
a good friend damned near voted for Shillary based on a post by some disabled woman who said when she contacted Bernie's campaign they ignored her, but when she contacted Shillary they were all over it. My friend is most likely disabled for life and has a young daughter and an ex husband who's also got health problems of his own. She was blatantly manipulated by that post, because of the fear she lives with every single day. I did talk her down, and reminded her once again that Shillary will say or use any dirty manipulative trick she can to get elected. And when I reminded my friend that Bill and Hill are both down for privatization of SS, well, she got the point and is angry about it too.
Its just like Faux Noise, Limpdick, Coulter and all the rest of the ugly right and their blatant manipulation of their base, my own now deceased mother one of them. When I go back and read up and see where that hot mess came from, it makes me deeply angry, and allows me to somewhat forgive my mother and even my dad who was worse, for her ugly political views - I see now where they were both manipulated pretty much from birth. I did make a few inroads with her before she died, but those old ugly ideas were not easy for her to give up, not after that much indoctrination. And I stick to my own fantasy that a sober dad would have seen through his own manipulation, the drunk sure as hell could not.

The DLC/Third Way folks haven't changed
Kos wasn't around back in the day, but his screeds and the bigotry and hate of Hillary's conservative supporters is exactly the same as in 1994. And they are racists & sexists. I attended their meetings for a while before I figured out what was going on. I got to hear them talking with their guard down. Nasty people, as bad as Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party. All they want to do is cash in and get rich off politics, by any means necessary.

Me Too
I'm done too. I started commenting to protect the backs of the dwindling number of Bernie supporters. It was literally making me sick. Then I skimmed for diaries of people saying goodbye to friends and being laughed at by classy Hillary fans.
Now I am resolved not to give Markos a single click. He can get his money from HRC supporters or from David Brock directly.

but not in the manner he would intend...

anti-semitism
read kos' diary comments, according to a big hillary supporter there anti-semitism doesn't exist. Jewish males are white. Sure, they benefit from lighter skin, Bernie himself talks about this when he describes the birther movement but to disregard the FACT that Bernie has done the best in the least religious states and the worst in states with extreme Christian religiosity (due to anti-semitism) is blatantly dishonest.
Southern Christians esp do not like Jews.
I once suggested there might be a racial aspect to some of the
negative Bernie comments "over there" and was quickly served my first donuts. Any other context and it is a valid concern.
But no, there is only sexism and racism against HRC, because her opponent is a white male. She is not a white multi-millionaire privileged political insider. That is just more racism.
The nonreligious Jewish guy and his bigoted supporters are the real racists.
Peace out, tmp.
Southern Christians esp. So. Baptists/

that is the ONLY thing stopping me from venting my spleen completely. I'm going to enjoy the hell out of doing that.
I'll bet at that point the tech team will quickly figure out how to "Delete That Fucking Account, Kos". HAHAHAHAHAHA!
HA!
I thought about trying to hold out for that, but after the NV debacle I couldn't keep a lid on it and got myself banned for calling out a Hillbot for "guilt by association" hypocrisy. (They were hoping to airbrush the HillaryBro child porn spam attacks from history, and I ruined it)

no. i'm not gonna be quiet. but it is easier to do it for the record and not for converts or to debate or win on points. for that, I don't give one fuck. i try to rely the data and the events. and most people at TOP betray themselves because they reply with insults or snide remarks but very rarely on the substance.

When I saw the new Kos screed I could not help myself... And posted that Privilege is when A millionaire tells people they are privileged if they don't vote the way the rich person demands they do
while I used no names... I think it was quite clear I was talking about the multi-millionaire who owns the GOS... And has the unmitigated gall to call other people privileged while I was on the phone literally fighting with Medicade in an attempt to keep my sister ALIVE.
