I just broke up with the Daily Kos.  It was never a very honest relationship.  ”There are some things about you that I don’t like, but I’m pretending to ignore them.”  This morning I got dressed and went straight to the computer.

 Unsubscribe.  ”It isn’t you.  It’s me.”

I don’t like the finger pointing.  I don’t like the categorical blame.  I don’t like the comparisons.  I don’t like the constant passing of judgement from self-appointed thrones that used to be IKEA couches and particle board desks.  I don’t like the systematic devaluing of our human candidates - the devolution of a human being into percentage points and sound bytes and unforgivable mistakes.

But that’s the game, right?  That’s politics.  

I get it.  I do.  I get it, but I cannot live it.  

I want to believe in the future.  I want to believe that our devastating legacy of racism and sexism is fading as the seasons turn, that our divisive past becomes less prominent as our nation’s children cultivate an ever expanding plot of shared ground.
