When I first did this a month ago, it was such a hit that we've now turned it into a regular weekly feature. We had Barb and Chris the last two weeks, and now it's my turn again. I'll be doing this once a month.
Before we get started, I have something to ask you guys -- please stop shitting on people doing activism on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else outside Daily Kos. If someone talks about Facebook shares, and you hate Facebook, then just keep it to yourself. Announcing to the world how much you hate Facebook really brings nothing to the table, and might in fact discourage people from helping spread the word.
If we are to grow as a movement, then we have to take what we learn on Daily Kos and share it everywhere else, online and off. Because as much as we bicker on this site, fact is we all agree with each other 95 percent of the time. If there were 60 million people on this site, then this is all we'd need. But fact is, we're trying to change America, and doing that requires us to evangelize outside the cozy orange-y confines of Daily Kos.
That's my rant for the day. Ask away!
2:38 PM PT: Alright y'all, gotta go do that afternoon parenting thing I talked about. I'll check in tonight and answer a few more questions. Thanks!
