Contribute now to Daily Kos

Daily Kos is the largest progressive political publication in the country. Our email list recently crested the 1.8 million subscriber mark. Our site reaches 10 million unique readers every month. We reach twice as many people more via social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. We provide a million community members with a platform to report news, connect with each other and make change in their communities. And we have real successes to point to, such as raising over $2 million for great candidates so far this year. On policy, our advocacy work was specifically cited by CNN as the catalyst for filibuster reform. And we have just 47 staff members who help make it all happen. Meanwhile, the economics of online publishing are in flux. Ad revenue, which once supported the bulk of our activities, is no longer able to fund operations. In fact, community support has become more important to our ability to operate than advertising revenue. If you wish to donate by mail instead, please send a check to Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612. Contributions to Daily Kos are not tax deductible.

Contribute now to Bernie Sanders for President and Daily Kos We are at a moment of truth. We need to face up to the reality of where we are as a nation, and we need a mass movement of people to fight for change. I believe America is ready for a new path to the future. –– Bernie Sanders

Not sure why any of this matters – but i think i am still trying to understand why they think being really mean and nasty is helping them.
