DL Open Thread Saturday February 12 2022
Crack Pipe Joe is now cowering in the corner begging Tucker Carlson to stop kicking him. It is truly pathetic and perhaps not a great strategy going into midterms.
Someone in the Democratic Party’s “leadership” must have said “Maybe if we apologize harder and compromise more ardently, the Fox News personalities will come around.”
Another person in “leadership” rejoined: “It’s worth a try I guess.”
How do I know that exchange took place? Just get a load of this headline running on CNN right now:
I didn’t read that CNN article. I don’t have the stomach for it.
Learned helplessness? Stockholm syndrome? A secret (or not so secret) capitalist plot to put up a pretend opposition?
I honestly don’t know why the Democratic Party constantly chooses weakness and pitiful impotence as it’s core values. I only know that it is a choice and it is one they’ve made my entire adult life.
Said weakness is the result of worshiping at the alter of the rich and the corporations they own, see Coons, Carper and LBR as the result. The spirit of FDR is long gone, replaced by the proverbial Idol Of Gold. Courage? None to be had for decades now, same for passion and vision. And neither have I the stomach for “Bipartisanship” as it brings to mind an image of Coons and his “good friends” in the Republican party. With Fascism at the gates I have no answer how to fix it.
Full court press canvassing for Bud today. Governor, Lt Gov, Kevin Kelley, an RD committee person who supported Dr Bohm. How inspiring!
I told the governor that bud probably wouldn’t vote for legal weed so he won’t be in the awkward position of having to make a decision.
Then I told them all to fuck off off my stoop. I live for these interactions.
