Hey,
So we have a pie fight problem on Daily Kos. We have always had a pie fight problem on Daily Kos, that is nothing new, but we’re kind of at Critical Mass here and it needs to stop. Pronto.
I mean, Jesus H. Christ people, focus! FOCUS! We got a would-be American dictator doing a really fucking excellent job of crippling the federal government and decimating the planet, and we’re not even three months in yet! I can barely handle another hour of this totally bogus crap going down, let alone another four years of this sheer horror! At regular intervals, I think to myself “today could be the day that I rip out all my hair”. This is a recurring thought that I have!
So can we please cut it out with the meta where it’s not needed? Please? Pretty please?! I am not suggesting that we give up pie fights altogether (HA HA HA! like that’s ever going to happen), but I am suggesting that we should keep the meta limited to diaries already infested with the meta. You want Bernie vs. Hillary, Round 3,760,119? Have it it, but keep that shit in those diaries and away from the rest of the truly important stuff.
Because we have A LOT! of really important news these days — it’s SO important and there is SO much of it — and we truly are at an “All Hands On Deck” place in history. Again, I’m not asking for the pie fights to cease altogether, but I really do think we owe it to ourselves to take what’s happening to our country with the utmost seriousness, because this is not a goddamned joke. I know Trump thinks this is some kind of awful reality show, but it isn’t, and I am worried sick about what’s going on right now. I think we all are, and we need to start acting like it.
Quite frankly, I’d like to get an Admin ruling on this one. We don’t have time for this stupid crap anymore, and I think the first person to bring up Bernie or Hillary (or his or her supporters) in a diary where it’s unwarranted should get flagged. Simple.
What say you all?
