Why am I leaving? After nearly losing my life to a heart attack two weeks ago, I realized I had little time to waste and none of it here. I used to respect the Daily Kos. Now, I think it has become the Debbie Wasserman Shultz of blogs. I’m looking for a truly liberal site, one that doesn’t bend it’s politics and the facts along with it to justify supporting a political party rather than political principles. I used to get good information here. It’s been a long time since I read anything that didn’t need a thorough factual debunking. I think Clinton is barely acceptable, domestically speaking, but agree with Swami Beyondananda on foreign policy: Hillary Clinton is a Wolfowitz in Sheepowitz clothing. I don’t mind a site where folks like different candidates. I do mind a site where the race is called before it’s barely begun, where the founder resorts to factual chicanery to justify his position, and where a political party is elevated over political principle. Another thing I won’t miss are the creepy losers who have nothing better to do than troll the comment section here.
I will enjoy the door hitting me on the ass on the way out, but before I do, If anyone can recommend some good sites that represent what this site used to mean to me, I would greatly appreciate that. This means a site where you are likely to find robust debate, but where factuality always stands beyond partisanship. There are plenty of goofy sites on the left. I want no part of them. I want a site where the average writer is tapped in and has accurate, non-party-affiliated, liberal/progressive info to share. Hit me up in the comments if you think you know such a place. Peace and Love, my friends. Life is far to short to wed yourself to a political party.
