Dear Green Party, America needs you

Hi Green Party, I know you hate the Democratic Party as much as you hate the Republican Party. I know you see them as the same thing and I don't blame you for it. The "Democratic Party," since Bill Clinton has been horrible. In Delaware you don't have to look very far to find elected Democratic officials that are utterly indistinguishable from modern Republicans. Tom Carper, Chris Coons, John Carney, Kathleen McGuiness, Peter Schwartzkopf, and the list goes on. These are horrible, despicable people with garbage politics. You should never vote for these terrible people. I'm 100% with you on that, but stay with me. This is a Democratic Party on its way out. This execrable corporatists leadership doesn't represent the future of the party. Don't look at the leadership and think you are looking at the Democratic Party. Look at the people running for county council and state rep. Listen to "Highlands Bunker" and look at people knocking on doors for "Mom's Demand Action" and you will see people who you have a great deal in common with. Look at Network Delaware and "We Are Sussex" and you will see the a Democratic Party that you can be a part of. I'm not asking you to give up anything, least of all your values.

Observations from Middletown’s Peach Fest

The peach blight of 1911 wiped out all the peach orchards around Middletown. No matter...traditions must be upheld. One tradition is a large turnout by political folks. I got there late, so missed most of the regulars. 9th RD Rep Kevin Hensley was there, and no wonder has this shit locked down. He gives out hand towels dunked in ice cold water. Genius! He is a terrible person though. A real low life. I mean, I don't know him, but he must be judging by the horrible low life's he shares a tent with. [Wall to wall Trump signs] Bethany Hall Long is here. She's running for Governor (Yes, even now. She has already started. No not a primary...but a really, really long campaign). I have given BHL some shit here, but she is a great retail politician. Also, credit where credit is due - her campaign tag line is the most honest I've seen. What else...Wow it was hot. I think I'll pass on going to this until President Pence gets Jesus to fix climate change.
