Liberals are doomed. And I'm a liberal. I went to DK looking for liberal friends, and instead found a bunch of total jerks. Very hurt and disappointed. Honestly a huge waste of time.

This is the kind of place where a person can write a solid, well-researched, entertaining article about any subject from environmentalism to trickle-down economics... but if the author employs some generic phrase that some of the liberals there object to, that's all they'll focus on.

Most of the users at DK have been there for years, and I have to say that most of them are pretty decent, intelligent, and informed souls. Some are even entertaining.

But there are groups within the group there, so they tend to ignore and patronize new users. They also spend a remarkable time rehashing churlish jealousies and petty rivalries, since almost everybody there is in competition to write a "diary" that's featured on the front page.

80% of the folks are good, but you'll never get to know them.
15% of them are "Liberal Stinkers" who seem to live to be insulted and see racism in everything.
And about 5% of them are total jerks.

A worthless site, on the whole, all it does is generate advertising revenue for the owner, who is so detached from the scene that he can't even see how many of the jerks are literally driving new members away.

So... your mileage may vary, but the Daily Kos is hardly the liberal oasis it pretends to be.

It's a childish, petty, non-sensical (no block buttons) little corner of the universe filled with attention whores and virtue signalers.

Puke.
