Thanks to Sandernista1812
Submitted by Hetrose on Fri, 08/19/2016 - 11:38am
Issuing my thanks to sandernista1812 who has expertly whacked the hornet's nest at TOP with a handsome old lovingly carved Hickory Stick. This beautiful piece of artwork displays all the bits and pieces of that most hated of thing at TOP, the Truth as supported by Facts.
Should you care to also feel the spread of the warm glow by venturing over to the other side of The Wall, here is your destination:

Enjoy, friends.
Comments
I was proud to go over there & Rec this diary.
It was even fun to do it very defiantly in response to the childish comments and warnings from those who were scolding others who had dared to Recommend it. I can't wait to see what my punishment is.
More to the point, it was an excellent, excellent detailed diary about exactly how Bernie Sanders was screwed by the PTB. I don't think any of us should EVER stop screaming from the rooftops about this. Not if we ever want our democracy back. Thank you so much for taking the time to research and write it, sandernista1812, and for letting us know about it, hetrose!
I completely agree
The so called reality site has gone so far into unreality that even a well documented diary flies over their collective heads. Instead they continue to cheerlead the most horrible and corrupt candidate that the Democrats could have possibly fielded. Go team blue! /snark

What I find hillarious
Is I went and glanced at TOP when Clinton named Salazar to head her transition. Not a damn mention of it visible anywhere. They have ended their run as the "reality based community" and become a fact free community. Especially with respect to those facts that might cause cognitive dissonance in their pretty little heads.
I looked to see what they would say too
I saw two diaries about Salazar. One mildly against the choice, which was met with the usual bullying and flagging, and one for the choice. The diarist stated that he likes the choice.
I've simply stopped participating.
I don't see much point in trying to burst that collective bubble. And I figure after a few months of Queen Hillary's reign, some people over there might be having second thoughts. It might be fun to pop back in a year from now just to say hi how's it going.

EEEEEWWW!!!!!
I need a shower! The sheep are kicking feces with all four feet and a few tails. Then congratulating each other at their cleverness.
Those of us who recommended are going to be soundly punished. I am so scared. NOT.
I no longer believe in the religion of progress
As one who is currently NR, may I say, it doesn't hurt a bit.
I just spend more time here.

I forgot
What is "NR"?
I got warnings but not banned.
NR means that your ability to tip a comment
has been removed for a while. They usually tell you how long you will be in the dawg house.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
I'm not sure what you're gaining ...
... by going over there. You know what you're going to find. Why continue to beat yourself?
Cold Turkey, folks. Nothing of value to see there.
I quit posting there because I was afraid I
would be banned. Kos had elfling and possibly others floating around in the diaries looking for heretics. Some kind soul bought me a lifetime membership, and I didn't want to risk being banned and losing that (the ads and my computer don't like each other). I'm retired and live alone. For the past five years or so, I made friends and was entertained. When this election began, the evil came out everywhere. People, who in the past had been funny and pleasant and trustworthy, turned into mean, nasty grumps. And then people who haven't participated much since they signed up crept out of the woodwork and lashed out with a vengeance. And then really mean newbies chimed in with pure hate, and if they were being paid, a whole bunch of made up bullshit. I thought I'd go back after the election. But, it's not even fun to be there anymore. Boring and boorish. Truthfully, it makes me sad. The other day, someone here spoke to me in the same (well, maybe not as mean) condescending way that is so common at TOP. People, please try to respect different opinions. This is a good place. Please don't fuck it up.
I avoid posting
for the very same reason. I am pretty sure who gifted me with a lifetime membership and that person still goes there. I feel I should at the very least honor that gift by not getting banned via flags. If they ban me for recommending a diary, that reflects more poorly on them than me.

It's a well-fortified
oasis of group-think. Everyone there seems to be on the same page, but it's not a very interesting page... unless you get a kick out of reading the same things over and over again. There's plenty off enthusiasm though. Introduce a single counter-narrative diary such as this one, and it's like some nasty germ getting attacked by hundreds of antibodies.

Is TomP still over there?
I don't know.
He's been a brave soul though.
native
Yes tom p is still there
and has jumped on to the Hillary bandwagon as have quite a few people who were Bernie supporters.
And some of the people who have done that have surprised me.

He came here with his unity advocacy and Trump Scary
shit, and when he was taken to task, he left in a huff. When I look it long enough to simply skip the titles of the rec list, he is usually on it.

So creepy
What do they find to talk about when there's not an FDR Democrat around for them to kick and spit on?
Twain Disciple
They talk about Trump, mostly.
Understandable- what good can they say about HRC besides "look, Trump".
Peace out, tmp.
The one thing I like to do over there from time to time
is tweet stories like this that get the Tip Jar hidden. I love to promote what they don't like.
As I got myself banned from Orange State, I feel it the least I can do to tweet wonderful diaries like Sandernista1812 wrote!
When I was a kid, Republicans used to red scare people, now it's the Democrats. I am getting too damn old for this crap!
That is exactly what I do.
If I run into them acting like jerks, I stick it out there on FB and Twitter for all the world to see. I usually tag it too.

I do the same with Facebook! Might have to do that today.

If I want to feel ugly, I can write a conversion diary there.
But it would be untrue. Enough templates. But remember, there are spies here (boo!)!
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.
You mean our fans? I find it hilarious and flattering that this
little site gets so much attention from the Hillbots.
Hello, Hill People! Stay here awhile, you might learn something new!

I can't go there

Kos's (liberal media, lol) purpose today to inculcate and defend the elite consensus.

I thought about that too
Before I decided to leave. Something really snarky and over the top. But then Angela Marx posted a conversion diary and it just didn't seem funny any more. So instead I commented on her diary that I wouldn't be participating on a site that deeply disturbed me anymore, wished her luck, and said goodbye. And that was my last comment.

I stopped my recurring contribution for her campaign
when she wrote that diary. I let her know I was no longer supporting her, even if I did wish her luck. She will have to win without my money.
She was really a huge surprise and disappointment.

Welp, the author just signed up over there today and is now
banned. Unaware of the site rulez, probably.

Boring boring.
From the Light House.
That is some sick stuff over there.
I skimmed a few comments (wow, so many strangers! I became a member there in 2004 and recognized only a couple of names). A couple caught my eye: Sanders supporters being referred to as "bros" (still), and the smug assertion -- apparently in response to said "bros" -- "We Dems don't do 'whites only' primaries."
I had not been there for weeks and weeks, and know I must NOT go back. Those people are so hateful, snotty, and spiteful that just reading their garbage makes me sick with anger. I have identified as a Democrat since Kennedy/Nixon and I could not be more appalled that those jackass reactionaries are what is now known as the "Democratic Party."
Twain Disciple
They broke their own "Rules of the Road"
4. "Accept that reasonable people may in the end still disagree."
the keyword is "reasonable" - I didn't see any reasonable counter arguments or proof of false statements in the diary. All I saw was nonsense, insults based on group think, inside jokes.
To thine own self be true.
I do not rate or tip or comment or diary
and can't find anything interesting to read.
Over the years, in election lulls, there were diaries that shared info about food. About recycling. About veterans services. About new medicines. About travel. About archaeological discoveries. Good books, good documentaries, great economics diaries, and tons of opportunities to personally contribute to a kossack in need.
Then, I noticed Grayson was bad. Ted Rall was bad. Sirota was bad. In the I/P diaries, I was good, P was bad.
The whole place was just slip, sliding away. I feared Bill Moyers would be banned.
BBB was allowed to say any disgusting, filthy thing he wished. Mr. amirite would get banned, return spouting off any putred thing he wished.
I even stopped reading MB. Yes, he is reporting dead monarchs and dying coral reefs, but he is not writing about pipelines, fracking TPP, Monsanto, because how the fuck can he and get a paycheck?
Trump is against TPP, and fracking.
I hated to self-censor. I stay away except to gawk. I have some peeps I still want to message, still have some info in my account that I want to retrieve.
Most of all, I want to see if the site complains about policies after the Queen gets her coronation.
Long live the Queen.

The Queen is a Fink
Hat tip to the Wizard of Id and the Society for Creative Anachronism (which built a satirical song around the slogan, to the tune of "Lily the Pink"). http://www.calonsong.org/CalontirSongs/imperiumcompoundss.htm - note: this is a Midrealm-specific version - other kingdoms have their own versions.
"We think, we think, we think,
The Queen is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of respectability
She rules the country with Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see."
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Didn’t the Bible have something about this?
