A Strong Arm and the Missing Spine
Our second dispatch on the state of Democratic Party from correspondent "Crankstock."
A friendly ice cream shop employee shows off his scooping arm.
Another dispatch from our historian correspondent, Crankstock:
This is my feedback for the DNC: When I visit your website to find out how the Democrats plan to respond to our current constitutional crisis, there are requests for money but no information on the Democratic strategy, no vision, no rallying cry for grassroots protest. When I contact our representative (Peter Welch, VT) asking for his insight on what’s unfolding and how Democrats will respond, I receive nothing. Trump won but Harris still had considerable support—why are you squandering what’s left? Why are Democrats approving any of Trump’s nominees? Why, after nearly twenty years are these Charlie Brown motherfuckers trying to kick the ball of bipartisanship?
Crankstock’s spirits were much improved later that day upon visiting their town’s general store, which also happens to be the store in which they sometimes encounter their fellow townsman and U.S. senator Peter Welch. “That’s the spirit!” reported Crankstock. Good neighbors look out for each other. If you’re a Vermonter and have information about Peter’s spine, call this number: (202) 224-4242
Our Texas representative, Lloyd Doggett, held a town hall this weekend. It was somewhat reassuring that there is push back going on but also scary to know more about the administration's actions. It was very reassuring to see young there and engaged.
I'm in Colorado with 2 Democratic Senators.. last count, one voted to confirm 4 and one to confirm 3.. I let them know I'm keeping count while asking them to reject these unqualified nominees. Hick says they're vetting, etc, but nice letter. Benett, same. Keep those cards, letters and phone calls going folks. They have to know we're here!
