Happy 20th anniversary, Daily Kos! And the 2022 Koscars go to …
A 20-year-old person can’t even drink legally in the U.S., but many a glass will be raised today in honor of the Daily Kos 20th anniversary. Whether you have wine, beer, sparkling water, Ardbeg, or oat milk in your glass, it doesn’t matter: Propose your own toast to 20 years of reading, ranting, laughing, crying, and changing the world together.
We come here for political news and commentary; we come to post pootie pix; we come to expose systemic injustice; we come to support our favorite candidates; we come to extol progressive values; we come to mourn losses and celebrate victories; we come to build community and be strengthened by those virtual friendships to go out and kick butt and take names.
And today we come to see who received the most votes for the 2022 Koscars!
If you voted, thank you! If you didn’t vote because the ballot had so many good choices it was impossible to choose, you are definitely not alone. If you didn’t vote and wish you had, give a shout-out in the comments anyway. Party music is especially welcome!
Twenty years is a significant length of time. It covers five presidential cycles. This November will be the sixth midterm. We’ve made noise and we’ve made a difference. We’ve done a lot, and there’s a lot more to come. Ain’t no stopping us now! We’re on the move!
A complete list of nominees is here.
