Daily Kos
Reviews and Complaints

I just started yesterday. Today they won't let my submissions be uploaded. I'm an Independent so I feel I'm also being banned w/o being told. I do not swear, use slang, name call people or the other ridiculous immature behavior we find on political forums.
I share my honest thoughts and opinions.

I read blogs from both the Red and Blue sides to get a balance.

Some posts on each are utter garbage - but reading both gives insight.

Kos is no better or worse - but I have found their information - particularly the insights and narrative into the Trump presidency - not only useful but endlessly entertaining.

Keeps me informed on all 50 states, sometimes crass, but always fair in evaluations, enjoy getting it every day.

For everyone crying about censorship and the 1st amendment, those protections are from the Govt. Not private businesses or platforms. Otherwise Faux News would have to start telling the truth and the Democrats points of views as well.

That's why they criticize Daily KOS and write all these negative posts. Why do they believe the gibberish from FOX news and Trump's relentless barrage of lies? It's simple: Because they can't think for themselves -- they lack basic intelligence and the ability to reason. The problem is that you can't fix stupid, so I just glance over their ludicrous posts and laugh.

Yes it's a liberal blog site, yes most of the contributors have a bias. But this site has many contributors with a variety of sources, points of view and interesting, well written and thought out articles. It does polls too. I enjoy finding out that there are still die-hard liberals like me out there who have reached the same conclusions I have and also reading articles by those who I don't agree with but challenge some of my beliefs! It's a place where real people can express what's on their minds!

I spent several years being a part of the Daily Kos newsgroup. But a major fallout with a troll forced me to really say goodbye to DK for good.

It began a month back when news came out that Bob Barker, the world's most greatest host of The Price is Right, has passed away and I want to post a tribute to him on the DK site which has a lot of potpourri of news and views from around the world, including celebrity news. Over the years I was a member of the site since 2017, I saw other people posting news about the passing of famous celebrities from band members to movie stars that got excellent reactions as a result. So since they post such things on the forum site, I thought it was OK for me to post a tribute to Bob Barker on the site. So I wrote a short article containing videos and Xweets that send out the best condolences and tributes to the one and only Bob Barker and invited a lot of people over to share memories of meeting Bob in person or watching him doing TPIR on TV while home sick from school.

Well to make the long story short, I unexpectedly ended up seeing people who obviously never saw the show at all come along and post links to gossip sites that have gossipy articles about Bob and his alleged scandalous relationship with his models during the 90s that put me off so badly that I regretfully deleted the article and post X/Twitter tributes to Bob in a daily evening open thread.

Only to wind up get into an argument with a potential troll who not only wrote an article of her own about Bob's alleged scandals right after I deleted my own article from the site, with the title mostly written in all caps, she also accused me of ignoring and denying Bob's alleged scandals while I really wasn't. I am very much aware of Bob's scandalous relationship with the TPIR models to which I cannot deny, but she believed I was. I told her flat out that I wasn't ignorant of it, but she didn't listen to me. We went back and forth for a little bit until I told her that I wanted to end the argument this instant, but she kept right on going until I exclaimed to her "Never Mind!" before writing another article of my own explaining to everyone on the site what's going on and why I ended up deleting the article before shutting everything down and went to bed after midnight.

Thankfully several people on the site became aware of this and understood what's going on with the troll and apologized to me about what happened and told me they looked at what I wrote and saw there's nothing wrong with it and I didn't do anything wrong and advised me not to feed the trolls by engaging in them lest I end up stooping down to their level and get beaten by them. Heh. Easy for them to say.

So the next day, I went back to the site and tried once more to explain to everyone what's going on. The troll came back still believing me to be in denial. I told her that's it's obvious she never watched the show and is not a true fan of it and tried to tell her why I deleted the article but she wouldn't listen. So I told her to stop trolling me and end the discussion. She did, but not before she started to accuse me of trying to silence her, telling me that this is a public forum site which contains articles and opinion that we disagree over. Apparently she's not aware that I've already know about this site for a long time. Heck! I've been a part of that site since 2017 for crying out loud!

So I got up and went out to unwind for a few hours. When I came back and got back on the site, I became incensed to find one of the posts flagged for calling the user a troll out of anger and frustration over what we've argued over. That was the last straw. I logged out, deleted all the passwords to the site, and left without telling anyone, lest they come over and beg me to come back to the site and stay.

It pains me that this site The Daily Kos doesn't have an option of deleting one's account, nor does it have the option of editing the comments or deleting them when you made a mistake or inadvertently said something you wish you've never said, which is funny. There has been times when I left other forum sites without telling anyone and never came back and it never bothered me one bit until I got into the DK site in 2017 in an effort to find some real news sources concerning the previous president when he first starting to mess around in the WH. When I signed up for an account on the site for the first time, I ended up occasionally in trouble with the site due to it being so sensitive to how people like myself react to certain situations that they'll just flag my comment in a heartbeat when they see something about my comments that are allegedly in violation to their rules of the site like making threats against those who engage in animal cruelty or make slandering remarks that I wasn't aware of until they brought it up.

Look. I tried to be in good standard to the DK site, engaging in friendly conversations and partake in discussions about news reports, community news, and gossip about animals, social, politics, music, anything that comes to mind. But a few times I ran into problems with them over a simple misunderstanding that I got upset over and had to come back to the site apologize and make up over after spending time in 12-24 hour DK jail for such rash comments I unwittingly made.

This time the ordeal over a huge misunderstanding about Bob Barker not only made me sorry I posted the Bob Barker tribute articles on the site, it also pushed me beyond the limit of what I can or can't handle on the site. So unable to take it anymore, I quit. I just left the site for good with no intention of coming back for another game of mudslinging with the trolls.

And that's the whole story.

When I read the other comments I found that they were just as comparable in opinion as mine. Why was a comment regarding "Thinking" so horrible to punish me? This is ridiculous. Not that I need Daily Kos since there are a plethora of other sites that I can access.

The FBI has a site for internet crimes. Punishing me for a comment regarding Free Speech should be illegal. Petty rules and regulations & so-called Ad hominem remarks Daily Kos employees and subscribers seem to be to allowed to voice their opinions freely.

I get the DailyKos newsletter and sometimes I sign their petitions, which is cool. But their website where people can comment on articles is totally unfair and they censor any opinion that's not like theirs, even if you don't use bad words or say anything mean. The people who run the site won't even delete my account when I asked them to. I stopped getting their newsletter and I don't want anything to do with them anymore. They're garbage.

Daily Kos is a website that's trying to do what other advocacy groups like MoveOn.org, Avaaz, National Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club have been doing for years. They're trying to take over some of the same causes and issues that these groups have been working on for a long time. But I'm worried that Daily Kos might end up crowding out these other organizations that have already proven themselves to be highly credible and successful.

I think it's important to stick with the advocacy groups that we know we can trust. These established organizations have a track record of success and have been fighting for important causes for years. They've built up a lot of expertise and experience, and they know how to get things done.

So if you're looking for an advocacy group to support, I would recommend sticking with the tried and true organizations like MoveOn.org, Avaaz, National Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club. These groups have already proven themselves to be effective and trustworthy, and they have a long history of fighting for important causes.

In my opinion, Daily Kos is still a relatively new player in the advocacy world, and they haven't yet proven themselves to be as effective or trustworthy as some of the more established organizations. While it's always good to have more voices and more people fighting for important causes, I think it's important to be cautious and stick with the groups that we know we can trust.

I gotta say, I've been a regular reader of Daily Kos for a while now, but lately I've been feeling pretty disappointed. Seems like the founder is really pushing hard for Hillary Clinton, and it's starting to feel like the site is less about open discussion and more about pushing a certain agenda.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for supporting a candidate you believe in. But when it starts to feel like the site is just a mouthpiece for one person's opinions, that's when I start to lose interest.

It's a shame, really, because Daily Kos used to be a great place to get a variety of perspectives and engage in some really interesting discussions. But now it feels like everything is just being filtered through this one lens, and that lens happens to be very pro-Clinton.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being too cynical. But it's hard not to feel like Daily Kos is just another tool being used to push a certain narrative. And that's not what I signed up for.

So yeah, I think I might start looking for another website to get my news and opinions from. Daily Kos just feels too biased these days, like they're trying to feed me a certain narrative instead of letting me make up my own mind.

It's a shame, really. But I guess that's just how things go sometimes.

I gotta say, I had a pretty negative experience on Daily Kos. I tried to share my opinion on an article, but it seemed like everyone else had already made up their minds and didn't want to hear anything different. They called me a "troll" and even threatened me! I couldn't believe it.

What really bothered me was how many of the other comments were just full of hate and violence towards people who didn't agree with them. I thought this was supposed to be a place for open discussion and different viewpoints, but it seemed like if you didn't agree with their agenda, you weren't welcome.

I used to think that the articles on Daily Kos were really well-written and made some good points, but now I'm not so sure. It seems like they only want to hear from people who already agree with them, which just reinforces that "us vs them" mentality that they claim to be against. And the hate speech? That's just not okay.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Daily Kos to anyone who wants to have a real conversation about the issues. If you're looking for a place to spout off your own opinions without any pushback, then maybe it's for you. But if you want to engage in a real dialogue with people who have different perspectives, you might want to look elsewhere.

I stumbled upon Daily Kos while browsing through Google search results and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The recent article about Fake News was a real eye-opener. As someone who has listened to conservative talk radio personality Laura Ingraham, I can say that I am well-versed in conservative views. However, I must admit that the article on Daily Kos was a real hatchet job, in a good way.

Now, before you start thinking that I am a hardcore conservative, let me tell you that I was a Bill Clinton fan, an avid CNN viewer, and even voted for liberal Trudeau in Canada. However, I must say that the Democrats and many on CNN have lost their minds and civility (not Anderson, Fareed or Armanpour). It's important to note that the Clinton foundation's influence peddling got the Dems to stay home and not vote. So, Daily Kos, you are part of the swamp and fake news!

Despite my reservations about the site's political leanings, I must say that Daily Kos is a great source of information. The articles are well-written and informative, and the site is easy to navigate. I particularly enjoy the fact that the site covers a wide range of topics, from politics to entertainment.

However, I did notice a few spelling and grammar errors on the site. While this is understandable, as we are all human and prone to making mistakes, it would be great if the site could improve in this area.

Overall, I would recommend Daily Kos to anyone looking for a reliable source of information. While the site may have a liberal bias, it is still a great source of news and opinion. So, if you're looking for a site that covers a wide range of topics and provides insightful commentary, give Daily Kos a try.

The news articles on Daily Kos are usually pretty good, but sometimes they miss important events. The diaries, on the other hand, are often not as good. However, the comments section is where things get really interesting. Some of the comments are naive and biased, but others are really insightful and thought-provoking.

I used to hang out at Firedog Lake for years, but when it closed down, I had to find a new place to go. Unfortunately, the only alternative was DailyKos. While I appreciate the fact that it's a liberal forum, I have to say that it's not always the most welcoming place. Some of the other commenters there just don't seem to get what I'm saying, and if I make a point that they don't agree with, the moderators are quick to ban me.

Overall, I think that Daily Kos is a good website, but it's not perfect. It's definitely more conservative than it lets on, and sometimes the moderators can be a little too quick to silence dissenting voices. But if you're looking for a place to discuss politics and current events, it's definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to encounter some resistance if you don't toe the party line.

I've been a regular reader of Daily Kos for quite some time now, and I've noticed that the same people tend to post and interact with each other on the site. It's like they're part of an exclusive club, which is all well and good until you ask a question that they don't want to hear. Have you ever read the rules of the road on Daily Kos? They're a bunch of nonsense. It seems like if a long-time poster tells you to "die mad," that's perfectly acceptable, but if you try to push the issue or ask for clarification, you're dismissed like you don't matter.

It's like there are two types of people on Daily Kos: the bullies and the bowers. If you're in the former group, you can say whatever you want and get away with it. But if you're in the latter group, you're expected to bow down and accept whatever the bullies say without question. It's not a very welcoming environment, to say the least.

As someone who's dealt with bullies before, I'm not intimidated by them. But it's always disappointing when you see people you thought were better than that resorting to bullying tactics. I'm not saying that everyone on Daily Kos is a bully, but there are definitely some people who could stand to be a little more respectful and open-minded. All in all, I'd say that Daily Kos is an okay site if you're looking for a certain type of political discourse, but if you're looking for a place where everyone's opinions are respected and valued, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Daily Kos is a website that is now run by people who are said to be Marxists and Bolsheviks. They are said to be dedicated to the total destruction of the USA. Some people say that their articles are party propaganda for the Communists. They say that every word is a lie and part of mass disinformation and psychological operations warfare. Some people say that you should avoid the Daily Kos because they are liars and Bolsheviks, with one purpose which is the total destruction of America.

Some people say that those who control the Daily Kos hate straight people. They say that if you don't have some Trans agenda or non-straight agenda, they hate you and want you destroyed. Some people say that they had no idea just how nefarious and harmful they are. They say that you have to be exactly whatever they are, or they hate you.

Despite these claims, it is important to note that the Daily Kos is a popular website that covers a wide range of topics, including politics, social issues, and current events. While some may disagree with the viewpoints presented on the site, it is important to engage in civil discourse and respectful debate rather than resorting to name-calling and accusations.

It is also important to consider the sources of information and to fact-check claims before accepting them as true. While some may claim that the Daily Kos is spreading propaganda and lies, it is up to each individual to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

In conclusion, while there may be differing opinions about the Daily Kos and its content, it is important to approach these discussions with an open mind and a willingness to engage in respectful dialogue. By doing so, we can work towards a more informed and understanding society.

Daily Kos, or DKos as it is affectionately known, is a website that is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a place to have meaningful political discussions or to get things done, you might want to look elsewhere. However, if you enjoy arguing about the smallest details, putting others down to make yourself feel better, or showing off your "resistance" credentials, then DKos is the place for you.

One thing that you must do if you want to be popular on DKos is to worship the founder. This is not optional. You must also avoid talking about "identity politics" and never criticize white liberalism. If you can do these things, you will be adored by the community. But if you dare to step outside of these boundaries, you will be met with a barrage of liberal tears that will crush your spirit.

It's not all bad, though. If you are looking for a place to vent your frustrations and commiserate with like-minded individuals, then DKos might be just what you need. There are plenty of people on the site who are just as angry and disillusioned as you are. And if you are lucky, you might even find a few people who are willing to work with you to effect real change.

But if you are serious about progressive politics, you might want to think twice before getting too involved with DKos. The site has a reputation for leaving people jaded and spiritually drained. It's easy to get caught up in the drama and lose sight of what's really important.

In conclusion, Daily Kos is a website that is not for everyone. If you enjoy arguing about the smallest details and showing off your "resistance" credentials, then you might find a home there. But if you are serious about making a difference and effecting real change, you might want to look elsewhere.

Kos is a website that I've been using for a while now to keep up with political news. While it's not perfect, it does a decent job of aggregating articles from other sources, like RawStory. One thing I really like about Kos is that anyone can post their own stories, which they call diaries. This means that there's always a lot of different perspectives and opinions being shared.

However, I do have some issues with Kos. For one thing, the community posted stories rarely include original material or opinion. They don't even have an opinion section like major newspapers do. This can make it feel like you're just reading the same news over and over again.

Another problem I've had with Kos is that they banned me for seemingly no reason. I wrote a story that I thought was perfectly fine, but it was removed from the site and I was banned without any explanation. I was really frustrated by this, and I still don't know why it happened.

Despite these issues, I still think Kos is a useful website for keeping up with political news. If you're interested in reading my take on why I was banned, you can find it by Googling my name (Hal Brown) along with a keyword like Daily Kos or Trump. I've written about it on my blog, and I think it's worth checking out if you're curious.
