Ageism

14 Comments
A breakdown of the mid-term vote by age and race reveals that white people between the age of 45 and 64 are the absolute worst. White people over the age of 64 are a close second, and white people 30-44 are not exactly superstars. And yes...It is more than a little embarrassing to be in the demographic cohort most dedicated to toxic MAGA nonsense.

“Whites First” Ad on WSTW

28 Comments
Did anyone else hear the rabidly racist, white nationalist radio ad on WSTW yesterday? It was enclosed by two statements from the station that they didn't endorse the whites first, Democrats are all black lesbians out to castrate white men* message of the ad. *That's not a direct quote. I'm trying to get to the spirit of the ad.

DL Open Thread Wednesday Nov 9 2022- Statewide, There is no DEGOP to speak of

I have worried about my triumphalism around the idea that DEGOP is basically defunct statewide and that "the Dem primary is the election." These worries continue to be unfounded. There is no statewide GOP in Delaware. Not a single Republican candidate collected more than 148,000 votes.
LEE MURPHY Republican - REP 138,177 42.97 %
JULIANNE E. MURRAY Republican - AG 147,353 46.17 %
JANICE LORRAH Republican - Auditor 145,145 45.8 %
GREG COVERDALE Republican - Treas 147,293 46.36 %
With no statewide races to really worry about Delaware Democrats need to do a better job leveraging that statewide dominance to win down ballot. That Ramone is still in the Legislature is a goddam disgrace.   Ignoring these races and allowing guys like Buckson to go unchallenged is a misuse of the party's dominance.
