Sorry for the late start.

Dems Can’t Ignore Culture Wars Any Longer.  Jamelle Bouie speaks the truth: Almost 60 years ago, the […]

Song of the Day 4/22: AC/DC, “Dog Eat Dog”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on April 22, 2022 • 0 Comments

Kevin McCarthy has never been among the sharper tools in the GOP congressional shed — he once voiced his belief, in front of witnesses, that Trump was on the Kremlin payroll — but he really should have seen that Rachel Maddow coming with that right cross. Maybe somebody should warn him that when push comes […]

Burn the entire corrupt edifice down

Filed in National by on April 20, 2022 • 0 Comments

According to Senator Chris Coons, the bad liberals and progressives (who hold all the power in the Democratic Party) put us in this dire situation by not clapping hard enough for glorious centrism.

Trumpism Resplendant

There’s something much worse than losing the House, and possibly the Senate, that’s rattling top Democrats who are studying polling and election trends:The big picture: It’s the possibility of a re-elected President Trump with a compliant, filibuster-proof Senate majority in January 2025.

The bottom line: David Shor, one of Democrats’ most respected data scientists, has been sounding the alarm for months. “Unless we see big structural changes in the Democratic party’s coalition,” he tweeted, the 2024 outcome could be “Donald Trump winning a *filibuster-proof trifecta* [House, Senate, White House] with a minority of the vote.”

 

“Structural changes” in this context typically means even more vigorous obsequiousness and further watering down popular Democratic policies until they are 99.99999999999% water.

Jim Morrison didn’t, […]

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on April 20, 2022 • 20 Comments

This list does not include any incumbents who already have credible challengers.  It also does not include either Speaker Pete or Our PAL Val.  I just think that, with their war chests, it makes more sense to remove them from leadership by electing more progressives to the General Assembly.  We already have some good challengers, […]
