Year: 2019

You've got to watch this. If you don't have Netflix go to someone's house who does.

Even as another school shooting unfolded in Colorado, Trey Paradee took steps to undermine SB68 by pushing an amendment that would delay SB68's effect for a generation. In view of the plain facts, a strong case can be made that Paradee is in favour of free and breezy access to assault rifles and machine guns, and if some lunatic shoots up a school while SB68 is barred from taking effect...too bad.

Between now and Nov 3rd 2020 we can't take any days off.  Every battle is in anticipation of, and preparation for the big battle 541 days from now.  

Dear Democrat, On Wednesday, the General Assembly will consider three bills in the Senate Executive Committee that taken together, will go a long way toward curbing gun violence and reducing the threat of mass gun violence here in Delaware. Since Sandy Hook, many Democratic leaders have worked hard to pass meaningful reforms that have made our children and families safer. We've closed Delaware's gun show loophole, extended the background check period on gun purchases, banned bump stocks, and passed red flag laws that prevent known threats from possessing firearms. At every turn, the NRA tried to stand in the way, and at every turn, our leaders didn't blink. We can't blink now. That's why we're asking for your help on two important fronts: 1) Please call or write your Senator and tell them that like nearly three in four Delawareans, you support common sense gun safety reforms like banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that are manufactured to kill.

When it is good, this blog has been a springboard for that kind of work. I've seen it. On the whole though, the GOP has been better at organizing because they have been better getting people involved in voting for nonsense and against their economic interest.

I missed this because the DEGOP is a moribund joke. Erik Raser-Schramm, however, took note:

Here is a telling comment: "You forgot McGovern, the farthest left of the bunch and the biggest loser." So.. the logic goes, don't nominate a liberal because one lost in 1972. But ignore the very solid losing record of all the moderates who were out to "save" the Democratic Party from a McGovern style defeat. It is a joke really. I hate these baby boomer fucks. Face it nathan, you and your generation done FUCKED UP. Get off the stage and stick your baby boomer wisdom up your saggy, age spot coverd ass.

Dan Lipinksi isn't a "good fit for his district." He is a conservative fuck-stick who needs to be taken to the curb. A coalition of major progressive groups has joined…
