DL Open Thread Monday May 17th 2021

"Socialism" is now only a bad word among Republicans and so-called "moderate" Democrats who pay entirely too much attention to what Republicans think. Turns out Van Morrison is a antisemitic dick. Also, turns out, a Space Force lieutenant colonel is a Trumper dick. But first, the dull, ever present pain of knowing that the GOP only cares about fucking shit up.

Democrats in Array

Having joined my RD, I'm getting mail from people running for Chair and Vice-Chair of the Delaware Democratic Party. Elizabeth Maron is running for a full term as State Chair. I think she might be MUCH to timid to be the Chair right now. The 9th endorsed Debbie Harrington for Vice-Chair, and office that Coby Owens is also competing for.   I know there are others.   Who are they?   Who are you supporting? Right now I would call myself persuadable.

GOP Civil War Comes to Delaware – Factions Square Off In Pitched Street Battles

One one side you have the Trumpers; Witzke and all of the the downstate GOP, Republican Primary voters, Republican general election voters, campaign donors and the right wing media complex. On the other side you have the Republicans who try to pretend that they aren't Republicans; Kevin Hensley, Mike Ramone, Chris Coons. You can see the fallacious thinking at work here, right? There is no opposition to the Trumpers. There is no GOP civil war in Delaware or anywhere. It is a fucking joke concocted (like this headline) for clicks and page views. Hensley, Ramone and Coons will lay the fuck down and do what ever Trump tells them to do. So while it is fun to make pretend that the GOP is facing a split, I know DL readers are smarter enough to see through the hype.
