Yesterday I posted a diary with the click-bait title "kos is wrong.
Yup. I admit it. It was click bait. And I MADE YOU LOOK!
So I'm doing it again today. Today's title is courtesy of grubber in the comments in yesterday's diary.
But as I said in a comment:
But in a diary like this one you need the shock value of a semi-inflammatory title to get eyes.
To wit, "kos is wrong" v. "perhaps Markos could have stated in a more nuanced manner that at this point in the overall election cycle we should focus on the election at hand rather than on the presumptive 2016 presidential nominee".
Nope. Just doesn't have the same punch.
We're coming up to the deadline for submissions for the
9th Anniversary of Saturday Morning Garden Blogging
Seeds of Change Local Election Fundraising Opportunity. Time is running out -- we need your submissions by tomorrow night so we have enough time to put it all together, make sure the links link and all that other good stuff.
Here’s our standard blurb:
It is a mid-term election year and now — during the subdued primary process — is our chance to get not just Democrats, but more progressive Democrats, into our state, county or municipal offices.
Call it planting the seeds for a harvest next November.
Many times newcomers to dKos can't quite figure out why we have all these groups for garden-ing and home repair and crafting and painting and books: this is a site for politics!
Let's show them why community matters: at the most basic level without community there is no purpose to politics and it becomes nothing more than a scrim behind which factions scramble in a zero-sum game for short-lived political advantage.
What we need from you:
• Candidate name and position sought for a municipal, county or state office (not Congress).
• Some background on the candidate and why you support them (and/or a statement from the candidate);
• Link to website for donations;
• Embed information for any graphic or photo you want included;
• Submission of information by Thursday, February 20, 2014
If you are able, please use ready-to-plug-in formatting so I or another editor can just cut and paste into the diary.
Kosmail your information to the group,
Saturday Morning Garden Blogging.
