It will never happen, of course, but Bernie makes a good argument for real debates. Bernie Sanders would like to shake up the 2016 presidential campaign by having debates with…

“limited” passes = stay away teabaggers

May 26, 2015 Dear Fellow Republican, I wanted to make sure I let you know that there are very few guest passes remaining for the 2015 Delaware Republican State Convention this coming Saturday morning. Convention delegates and other guests are excited to welcome Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina as the keynote speaker, and I'd love to know that you're going to be there with us as we launch the 2016 campaign season. Simply click the link above and you'll be able to register online, but there are only a few passes left so you'll need to purchase your ticket immediately to ensure that you have reserved space for this Saturday's event. I hope to see you this weekend! Charlie Copeland Chairman Paid for by the Delaware Republican Party
White on White Shootout Underscores the Culure of Violence in the White Community

White on White Shootout Underscores the Culure of Violence in the White Community

Nine people have died after a shootout between rival motorcycle gangs in Waco on Sunday, when gunfire erupted in the parking lot of a Twin Peaks restaurant in the central Texas city.
Where is the White leadership on this? Why aren't moderate Whites speaking out and condemning this? What is it about the white community that allows this culture of violence to flourish?
Claire Snyder-Hall should primary Tom Carper

Claire Snyder-Hall should primary Tom Carper

Claire Snyder-Hall would lose a Democratic primary to Tom Carper, but that's not the point. The Democratic Party needs the moral leadership of people like Snyder-Hall. I only hope that she isn't already mobbed-up in the corporatist shit hole so much that she'd regard a primary challenge to Tom Carper as an affront to propriety. Her work with Common Cause gives me hope to think that she is not. But if not to win, why run? That's a legitimate questions, Snyder-Hall knows as well as anybody that running is hard. But I think a primary challenge from the left could help bring the discussion of income inequality back home to Delaware. It could make Carper account for his Republican voting record, and put issues from the environment to women's health in play. Tom Carper's utter contempt for the party of Truman, Kennedy and FDR is well known, and on constant display. If he is not primaried, it could very well reveal our contempt for democracy.
Bernie August should become a Democrat and primary Tom Carper

Bernie August should become a Democrat and primary Tom Carper

Bernie August would lose a Democratic primary to Tom Carper, but that's not the point. The Democratic Party needs the moral leadership of the Green Party people who have left the Party in disgust. Do I blame them for leaving? Hell no! The Democratic Party, particularly the Delaware Democratic Party is a festering shit hole of corporatist functionaires. And yet the Democratic Party is the only viable counterweight to its own wrongheadedness. If not to win, why run? That's a legitimate questions, but I think a primary challenge from the left could help bring the discussion of income inequality back home to Delaware. It could make Carper account for his Republican voting record, and put issues from the environment to women's health in play. Tom Carper's utter contempt for the party of Truman, Kennedy and FDR is well known, and on constant display. If he is not primaried, it could very well reveal our contempt for democracy.
Senate Dems (all but one) vote to block “Fast Track”

Senate Dems (all but one) vote to block “Fast Track”

Who was the wage killing, American worker hating hold out?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats have dealt President Barack Obama a stinging setback on trade by blocking efforts to begin full-blown debate on his initiatives. All but one Senate Democrat defied the president Tuesday by voting to prevent consideration of his request for "fast track" trade authority. Such authority would let Obama present trade agreements that Congress could ratify or reject, but not amend.
