People yelling at Kos for disrespecting/hating on Bernie, people yelling at the “special snowflakes” who were turned off enough by Hillary to not vote for her: consider giving it a rest. Both Kos and the snowflakes were dead wrong, IMO. And now, also IMO, so are you.
Nobody listens when you scold, it’s just punishment, and we’re all in for enough punishment already without this infighting— the vicious kind that’s only possible among intimates who know the exact location of each other’s buttons— over who’s fault it is.
I know venting is satisfying, but maybe it’s time to exert emotional self-discipline. I’m sick at heart too, and furious, it doesn’t change the fact that plutocrats and nazis love the sound of left-wing combat.
I know some people think it’s a corny song, but --come on now, people! Everybody get together, try to love one another. Right now!
We need each other; we’re all we’ve got.
(This diary was a lot harsher before I exerted a little emotional self-discipline.)
