Don’t Be a Wanker
If you aren’t fucking joining your fucking RD committee, or working for a fucking candidate you believe in, or all your activism takes place in the comments section of some dumb blog, you are just wanking.
WFP is hosting a training on how to run a grassroots campaign this Saturday: Every day, our political system seems less and less responsive to the needs of working people. One of the best way to break through the frustrations of politics is to join a local campaign.
Join our “How to Run a Grassroots Campaign” training to learn:
- Why grassroots campaigns are important if you want to make change
- What the different parts of a campaign are
- How you can get involved in helping a grassroots campaign
Also, it has been made difficult to find reliable contact info or officer lists for local RDs.

Paging Travis and Sarah … anybody know how to fix it up there?
They seem to be using this…:

…as a rationale for keeping this stuff hidden.
It’s time someone says it: Betsy Maron has no vision. I’m sorry to say it. But the State Party is reverting to its previously-moribund state that preceded the Raser-Schramm/Chadderdon team.
I mean, spare me the bleeping Joe Biden trivia nights.
In my experience, some RD committees are not very open to newcomers. When I lived in the 4th, that was definitely the case.
That’s bullshit. You ignored me and were a no show 3 times.
Oh here we go… the RD 4 walking dead have reared up for one last go!
Who are you even talking to? I don’t know you and never heard from you.
Are you talking to me? I know you’re not talking to me. I remember when Gerry Brady schooled you.
But what if I like wanking?
Allow me to quote the Pope:
“Who am I to judge?”
This mf said y’all are in bed with pistol pete. Superb. Ted, come on the podcast
The zombie RD really did want to install Bud without all this public criticism. You can tell they’re bush league political nobodies too. Because they got what they wanted and are still very grumpy and defensive. Great job, everyone.
Jim… little advise. Just be quiet now.
I’ve been a part of the democratic process longer than most of you have been alive. Do a little more listening and a lot less talking.
Ossified old Boomer proud to have carried the same water all these long years.
That’s why everyone’s critical dummy. Are you this fucking dense?
By the way, I’m from here, nearly 50, and I think you suck.
Unbelievable. No good deed goes unpunished. You guys are unhappy no matter what. The 4th would have gone red years ago without putting in real work, not hanging out on a blog all day every day with the same 6 people. Get a haircut, dope smokers.
You’re painting with too broad a brush. Especially with the reactionary 1960’s rhetoric: ‘Get a haircut, ya dope smokers.’ Were you a Mayor Daley fan back in the day? You like your cops with billy clubs?
BTW, although there could be a first time for everything, the notion of Gerald Brady schooling anybody is, um, fanciful.
If we had the small number of viewers/commenters that you suggest, we would have folded this enterprise some time ago.
Even I’m surprised at how many individual views we get. I think we do as good a job of covering Delaware politics and the General Assembly as anybody. At no cost to you.
I could use a haircut.
lol. This guy’s living permanently in ’69. Hey, dumb ass. The district is red now. How did Purzycki win exactly?
Good riddance to my RD. It sucked anyway.
The funny thing is I’m 47 and the youngest guy on here. This guy’s calling you all hippies! I do smoke tons of weed tho.
I’m 38 and I smoke no weed. Us youngins are all about pills now.
“The district is red now. How did Purzycki win exactly?”
This seems self-defeating. If this district is red then it makes sense to run someone with some existing moderate credentials, especially if its just to keep a seat blue for less than a full term with a special election. Its not my district, but based on your interview Dr. Bohm has some good ideas. I’d rather see her run when she can be uncontested in the general. I know Anthony Delcollo’s name was initially floated as an R challenger, and he knows how to walk the line just like Mayor Mike. A Bohm/Delcollo race would be tight and could ultimately hurt her prospects in the long run.
The district is ANYTHING but red.
This is in REVs backyard – are we all talking about the same district?
’69 was an amazing year. I spent the summer surfing and tripping and went to the Atlantic City Rock Festival (Look up the line up). I was with half a million of my friend on the Elipse on November 15 telling Nixon to F’ off.
I went on to be the Labor guy in DE for McGovern working out of multiple union Halls including IBEW 313. I’m guessing the other dude had a different experience:)
