We all knew how it was going to play out — this is Delaware after all. Our politicians are raised to find the center path all the time, thinking bi-partisanship is king. But the king is dead, the king has been dead a long time.
Delaware politicians are the middle managers of US politics. They got to where they are by agreeing with the status quo, not by making bold choices. They use words like process, substance, and respect. But in the end, they always want to play it safe. They lack the determination to do the right thing.
I’m disappointed in Delaware politicians because it’s obvious they haven’t even been paying attention for the last eight years. I am disappointed in myself because I let myself think this time it was going to be different. It’s like I have not been paying attention over the last 30 years.
