Nobody is ever going to have a perfect progressive record on policy or on endorsements. I've been doing this long enough to remember when John Kowalko's liberal credentials were called into question after one vote. Absurd. Look at the body of work. Trying to call out McBride or Lynn as not progressive enough is just drive by trolling.

As if more evidence was needed, the Herschel Walker abortion revelations and subsequent shrug by the GOP testifies to the fact that Republicans are all about power and not interested in policies - not even a little bit. Similarly, but on a smaller scale, Ruth Briggs King is a dangerous MAGA extremist. She head-faked and made me think that she was going to respond. That's why this is a long delayed verdict. And really, why wouldn't she blow off the questions? In the context of the GOP being all about boosting the turnout of radicals on elections day, the questions don't even make sense. "Was Joe Biden legitimately elected?" Who the fuck cares? The only germane question is - Does allowing dummies and losers believe that Trump won boost turnout? If it does, then ok.

...thanks to a sweeping reform bill (HB 244) signed on Monday, Delaware has become a national leader in ending abusive fines and fees. The Campaign to End Debtor’s Prisons led…

These are John Kowalko's Opening Remarks From Yesterday's RISE Rally

We are gathered here today to raise our collective voices in a resounding NO to privatization of our health care. NO to privatization of Medicare. No to this Governor and his administrators attempts to sellout Delaware retirees benefits to conglomerates such as Highmark so they can profit at the expense of retirees. No to the secret backroom deals that deliberately violate transparency and open government obligations and thereby violate the PUBLIC TRUST. No to the word for word regurgitation of misinformation, false information, and distorted information that the SEBC continues to spread at every public disinformation session they conduct. No to any contract conceived, negotiated and created with no retiree input or knowledge. We are here to reject Secretary DeMatteis’
