News from within the empire - From a leftist perspective

Given the growing enthusiasm for the “uncommitted movement,” which has drawn well over half a million voters in nearly two dozen states since February, there is little doubt that turnout in Delaware, whose primary would have been April 2, would have mirrored, or even surpassed the average of 10% to 19% voter support for “uncommitted” in states where primaries have been held.

With Biden boasting that Delaware is his home state (despite his being born in Pennsylvania), a significant percent of voters soundly opposing his policies supporting [neocolonial] genocide in Gaza would be embarrassing to say the least.

Delaware has 16 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, whereas Florida gets 125.

In January 2024, U.S. District Court Judge Allen Winsor denied a bid by Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), to hold a Florida presidential primary on March 19. Author Marianne Williamson and political commentator Cenk Uygur also sought slots on the Florida primary ballot for president.

I love how libs terrified of republicans ushering in overt fascism, are instead letting democrats do it covertly. The democrats have been responsible for expanding the surveillance apparatus, beefing up police militarization, and doing many other things that will ultimately be used to crush any dissent. The libs don't care because it's their team doing it.

I think at this point, they're completely committed to fascism, they just want their guy to be in charge.

Basically yeah, all their supposed values have gone out of the window a long time ago.
