Propaganda

Mail In Propaganda

So I'm apparently a local leader. At least, that's what the latest letter accompanying a "survey" from the DNC says I am. Certainly is news to me. But it did get me wondering exactly how many people here have ever gotten one of these before. So, for those who don't receive this little piece of propaganda, I thought it'd be nice to share it here.

I had an epiphany this morning. Well, not really an epiphany, more like an affirmation. It's certainly not something I've not known for a very long time.

(I wrote a couple diaries there ridiculing them for it) It was always said, watch there for what the corp media will catch up to in a couple months... Well, "Warren moves closer to Clinton endorsement" showed up on the local tv channel's website with a cnn byline.

The Online Graveyard of The Progressive Movement

Until a couple of years ago I used to frequent a website known as the online liberal bastion the world over. At the beginning, I used to just read essays posted by other users/members, many of which I found to be very informative, compelling, inspiring, and motivating.
