Why are young people not joining the Democratic Party?

Filed in National by on March 6, 2022 4 Comments

Is it because the Democratic Party sucks ass?   The centrist agenda, which is based on the primacy of the private sector and private markets and the importance of the military and law-enforcement, has left us with a public-health system utterly unable to handle the COVID pandemic. It’s left us with a legacy of racist […]

Former Producer For Sean Hannity Arrested For Helping Russian Oligarch.  For setting up a Russian propaganda network.  When the history of democracy’s demise is accurately written, the creation of Fox News will play an outsized role. Oh No! Jumbo Bacteria!  And there’s–let’s just say it musically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n3ZiFHluMs We’re doomed.  I–can’t go on. I–must go on. […]

It is on.  Find your candidates and work your ass off.

The Highlands Bunker. Your local RD. This little blog. The Delaware Call. Network Delaware. Delaware United. WFP, and many more larger and smaller streams of progressive action in Delaware. As they join together and flow in the same direction toward Election Day they can build into a river of change. We saw that happen last time. It works but it depends on you getting your boots wet.

Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union last night. I didn’t watch it. As political bloggers go, I guess I am pretty awful. I suppose some other stuff happened too. Be a flower song would you, and let me know in the comments if I missed anything interesting. Thanks!

Dirty Liberals Slashing Joe Biden’s Tires

Filed in National by on March 1, 2022 1 Comment

If you listen to Coons and members of his Toxic Centrist Caucus you will come to believe that all of Joe Biden’s problems are rooted in “liberals” and “progressives” asking for too much and not being convincingly sad enough when they got no part of what they asked for.

Also this->  Bye Bye Roe V. Wade!

Huzzah for the party of sober moderation! Vote for the Democrat Party because…. uh…reasons!

Nobody wants Putin’s murderous insanity rewarded, but can we “support” the people of Ukraine without sounding so much like they are an underdog football team playing well in the first quarter? Seriously. Shell is exiting Russia, BP is also leaving. These are good things. Better yet – let’s get off fossil fuel altogether. It’s time. […]

Coons Still Thinks Brown Jackson Will Get GOP Votes to Confirm.

Filed in National by on February 28, 2022 4 Comments

CBS/Gayle King: Some Republicans are calling her (Ketanji Brown Jackson) too radical. Yes or no, do you expect bipartisan support on this?

Coons:  I would certainly hope so.  She got three Republican votes when confirmed for the DC circuit.

This is absurd. The over/under is one Republican vote, and I’m taking the under.

DL Open Thread Monday Feb 28th 2022

It is a basic convention of the “State of the Union” address that the sitting President proclaims the union “strong.” I’m not sure how Biden is going to be able to continue with that bit of nonsense when his supreme court pick is getting zero votes from Republicans.  89% of Workers at an Arizona Starbucks […]

The Democrats Are Filled With A Bunch Of Extremist Weirdos But I Am Not Like That – Vote Democrat!

Filed in National by on February 27, 2022 3 Comments

A Uniquely Skilled Candidate Related to this, what happens in “wave” elections, when Dems win big, is a bunch of their CopTroopCIA candidates win in swing districts (this is their only model for winning against incumbents in swing districts), become convinced of their unique political skills, spend two years being a pain in the ass […]

The Leader of the DEGOP Really Wants a Strong Daddy

Filed in National by on February 25, 2022 6 Comments

I’m sure you’ve seen this, but watch it again. Witzke, who is the leader of the DEGOP for all intents and purposes, craves a strong daddy figure to impose his will on her.  I mean, really.  By the third time (within two minutes) she admires Putin for all his “strength” and “taking care of his people” – you start to wonder if the studio is going to need to get her chair professionally cleaned.

Peter C. Schwartzkopf thinks Kerri Evelyn Harris Needs to Learn Her Place

The Dems “leadership’s”  treatment of Harris is shocking. Today’s “Delaware Political Weekly”  is infuriating.   The Dem “leadership” continues to be racist as fuck. Kerri Evelyn Harris is the kindest, most empathetic, person in Delaware politics.  She believes in a  “bipartisanship” that seeks to break down phony party divisions used by the powerful to exploit people […]

Yesterday was a bad day for non-cis, non-het Americans. Maybe if we only compromised harder, they’d meet us in the middle. Eh, Coonsie? Florida’s House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would prohibit “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” in the state’s primary schools. The legislation — titled the Parental Rights in […]
