There’s a reason I don’t go to Netroots Nation any more and it’s not because I’m ashamed of anything I’ve done or said in a little over 12 years of public writing (as a matter of fact I’m mostly pretty proud of all of it except the stuff that was uninspired which while not bad because I never publish anything that’s a total piece of crap there’s no denying that some stuff is better than others).
Nope. It’s because for several years they’ve chosen as a policy (and I don’t necessarily disagree with it) to hold their events in Red States because they think that’s where they’ll have the most political impact.
