Vote Jess Scarane Sept 15th – You hold all the power

Mitch McConnell and Chris Coons want you to feel powerless. They want you to think that your vote is useless and your voice is meaningless. Coons and McConnell want you to think that a government that works for the people instead of corporations is "impractical." They could not be more wrong. Your primary day vote for Jess Scarane is everything this year and your voice can go booming across the country when you eliminate Chris Coons from the seat he has squandered in the US Senate. You have a vote. You say in who represents you in the US Senate. You have a voice to yell with and feet to march with. Coons and McConnell want to take away your will to use those things. Don't let them. Vote Jess Scarane September 15th

Nate Silver’s data says Dems have two choices: Bernie or Complete Chaos

1,529 delegates. That's how many delegates Sanders is projected to have on June 6th after the US Virgin Islands holds its primary. The 2020 Democratic National Convention begins 37 days later on Monday, July 13. 1,990 delegates are required to obtain a majority and Sanders will be the only one anywhere near that number. So if Democrats want to beat Trump and have a unified party gong into the fall election everyone running who is not Bernie Sanders needs to drop out now and support the eventual nominee. Either that or you are working for Putin.

Highlands Bunker – E54 – Street PAR

Ed Note: Did you know that African American students from bad neighborhoods intentionally do poorly in school because they don't want to be seen "acting white" around their peers? Well, if you (like me) thought you knew that shit, you (like me) have been taken in by some racist bullshit academics that spread like wildfire because it clicks snuggly with our internalized American anti-black racism. This is a fascinating conversation with Dr Yasser Payne.   Also, Highlands Bunker is the shit, and you should consider a patronage.
Dr Yasser Payne joins Rob in the bunker to talk about Participatory Action Research, and how he has been using it on the streets of Wilmington to push for impactful, effective change based on real circumstances and addressing real systemic obstacles. Show Notes:

The Dems could nominate Karl Marx and win

The pants-pissers and professional Democratic worry worts are getting paid big money to act like there is a close election coming up. There isn't. Trump has been fucking horrible and everyone and I mean EVERYONE outside of his Nazi-party rallies knows it. Don't listen to people who are being paid to frighten you. Trump is done. Sure, we still need to work hard and elect a bunch of down ticket Dems, but I'm so not worried about the eventual Democrat nominee winning. Also, please recall that I am always right about these things.

Coons’ Prayer Breakfast – The most important thing ever!

We were going to boost this post on Facebook to make sure the widest possible audience knew that kissing Trump's ass at the prayer breakfast was more important to Coons than being present at the Barr confirmation vote. Facebook rejected it.   So give Coons & Zuckerberg the finger by going to this post, liking it and sharing it.  Also, like our FB page.   www.facebook.com/DelawarelLiberal

Highlands Bunker – E53 – Misusing the Rat

Ed Note:  I don't pay as much attention to New Castle County politics as I should. I kinda like Matt Meyer based on... nothing(?)  Is that general favorability unfounded?  Yes.  I just said it was.   Is it wrong?  I don't know. Maybe let me know in the comments.  
 
County Executive Matt Meyer joins Rob in the bunker to talk about to talk about housing and homelessness, the challenges of running against an incumbent, and some of the controversy around the Delaware Board of Trade. Show Notes:

The Badger and the Coyote

Yes, it sounds like one of Aesop's fables, and it does crop up in Native American folklore, but it's based on observed reality. Though coyotes and badgers are each solitary…
