    “A lot of these so-called unassailable political machines are shells — they do not have strong turnout. They’re decrepit.”
    –Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    Happy World Cup Final day. I’m neutral and I’m still excited.

    That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quote checks out.

    France!

  3. RE Vanella says:

    Neutral situations drive me to support the underdog. Plus it’s Croatia’s first final.

    But the French captain Hugo Lloris is the Tottenham goalkeeper. So I won’t be bothered watching him hold up the trophy.

    –Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    A couple of signs of decrepitude:

    I’m walking past the bulletin board at the Buzz Ware Village Center in Arden. You know the typical stuff you see on, say, boards at the supermarket? Lawn care services, with those tabs on the bottom with the phone # that you can pull off? In THIS case, there is just such a sheet seeking grassroots volunteers for Carper. Needless to say, nobody has pulled off a tab yet. Grassroots? Carper? 1982, yes. 2018, no way.

    Somehow, my wife gets these updates from the Carper campaign. They were trying one of those ‘We need x number of dollars by midnight’ deals (or God will take them home?). It looks like they’re trying to create some sort of grassroots organization for a candidate who engenders no enthusiasm. Unless bankers, big Pharma execs, and the like, are gonna knock doors for Carper, ain’t gonna BE no grassroots campaign for Carperbot.

    He’s been touting his environmental credentials lately. It may work on single issue/low info voters like Alan Muller, who was a big Castle guy until the bitter end.

    “In THIS case, there is just such a sheet seeking grassroots volunteers for Carper. Needless to say, nobody has pulled off a tab yet.”

    I’d love for someone to snap a picture of that and send it to me.

    More decrepitude revealed:

    The California Democratic Party on Saturday endorsed U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s challenger, highlighting the moderate lawmaker’s political disconnect with liberal activists in her home state.

    The nod provides Kevin de León with a boost of momentum for his long-shot bid to unseat the 26-year-incumbent. After finishing second and 32 points behind Feinstein in the June primary, de León spent months calling more than 300 members of the party’s executive board to earn their support.

    His work paid off Saturday when 65 percent of the voting members endorsed him over Feinstein at a gathering in Oakland.

    Feinstein, like Carper has always been terrible.

    Brilliant cartoon.

  10. Jason: We’re working on getting you that picture…

  11. jason330 says:

    I feel bad for the Carper staffer just dispatched to the store to try and tear some tabs off the sign before the picture gets taken.

    If you’ve ever tried posting a liberal comment on a “conservative” (loony bin) blog, you know how faux this outrage is.
